What makes us different than highly successful people?

Habits or structure, maybe?

Habits are actions that become first nature to the point we might not even notice we are engaging in them.  This gives us hope because when we get to the point that a healthy action becomes a habit it will take little effort to do as it has become part of our quotidian life, making it even harder to not do. Many times habits become so normal to us that we don’t stop to think about how we could tweak them to help them support a better life for us.

‍

Luckily, Focus Bear can help you break old unwanted habits and build new ones that are aligned with a healthier, happier, more successful version of you.

Let's put it simply, no human being has more than 24 hours a day, nor more than 7 days a week. If we assume we are getting an average of 8 hours of sleep, we really only have 16 hours left to do what we need and want. Even if at first glance it sounds like a lot of time, think of how much time is left after your 9-5 job, going to University, parenting, or any other activities that take the majority of your time. Whatever person we refer to, we are saying that we are facing the same time limitations, or better yet the time investment possibilities.

Time to Reflect:

So, what do you think highly successful people are doing to make the most of their time and how may that differ from you? 

‍

Our Take on this:

First of all, I think most highly successful people have a team dedicated to their success, such as personal trainers, nutritionists, assistants, coaches, mentors, and other people they can delegate work to, among many other people that are supporting them. Of course, for some of us, it may not be the best financial decision to hire a huge business and health team, however, there is one key takeaway. Successful people know they can't do it all by themselves and most times depend on a structured system that prompts them to show up. Good luck to you Focus Bear can help bring structure and accountability to your life for just a fraction of the price! 

‍

The habit of procrastinating hinders effectiveness and leads to more procrastination, which feels like a never-ending cycle we might just drown in if no one throws us a rope so we can pull ourselves out of it.

‍

Focus Bear can be your rope, a tool you can use to make sure you stay on course and block any webpages you know lead you down rabbit holes during your productive time. 

‍

As soon as you go onto a site you blocked, Focus Bear will motivate you to finish your focus block! Sometimes beating the distraction is as easy as having a moment to reflect on this, as many times we can just open up social media out of habit or mindlessness.

In the same way, you can block websites, you can also enable ones you know will be helpful for your focus block. 

An important differentiating factor of Focus Bear from other productivity apps is that it encourages you to take breaks so you don't get burnt out either.

‍

Some breaks include physical activity, so sitting, also known as the silent killer, does not take over during your work sessions. 

‍

In the image below you can see the progress of push-ups, which is a common break on Focus Bear. 

Remember that all that is stopping you from being your most successful self is sticking to a system that provides you with accountability, breaks, and tools to focus. It's all about balance, and at Focus Bear we are fully aware of this! This is why breaks are just as important and are even tracked for progress in addition to productive work or study blocks.
