If you can balance two seemingly opposite skills, then you’re onto something.
For example:
This week, I need to really power through some projects. In order to accomplish that in the time available, I must remain Indistractable. When I select something to work on, I must not let anything else stop me from completing that thing.
Now, that doesn’t mean completely shut out the rest of the world indefinitely, and become a rude recluse.
There needs to be some grace with that focus.
Yes, you can come into the office. Yes, we can talk – we might have to schedule it for another day or time, but the answer is, yes.
