GFY - Go Focus Yourself

GFY - Go Focus Yourself

Question: How often do you feel like you’re drowning in distractions, chasing one task after another without ever really moving the needle?

It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos—46 notifications a day, endless emails, texts, and social media distractions. It’s no wonder you feel scattered. On average, it takes 23 minutes to refocus after every interruption. Imagine how much time you’re losing every day just trying to get back on track. Here’s the reality: If you want to get ahead, you need to stop chasing everything and start focusing on the right things.

Problem: Multitasking doesn’t make you productive—it makes you ineffective. In fact, studies show it slashes productivity by up to 40%. You think you’re getting more done, but you’re really just spinning your wheels.

Why You Need to GFY (Go Focus Yourself): Here’s the truth—success doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from doing the right things, and doing them well. When you’re scattered across too many tasks, your energy is divided, and your results are weak. But when you concentrate your focus on what matters, you become unstoppable. If you want to hit your goals and grow your business, you need to focus like a laser. That’s how you win. It’s time to Go Focus Yourself.

Solution: It’s simple. Block out the noise. Focus on the work that matters. And execute relentlessly. Here’s how to GFY and take control of your productivity:

  1. Time Blocking: Schedule dedicated, uninterrupted blocks of time to tackle your most important tasks. Treat this time like it’s sacred—no distractions, no excuses.
  2. Turn Off Notifications: Stop letting your phone, email, and social media control your attention. Turn them off when you’re working on your key projects. You’re not missing anything by focusing on what matters.
  3. Prioritize Ruthlessly: Each morning, choose one key project that will move your business forward. Stick with it until it’s done. Forget everything else for now—this is how progress is made.

The Power of Community: Here’s the thing—focusing on what matters doesn’t have to be a solo effort. The power of community can take your focus to the next level. When you’re surrounded by like-minded individuals, all pushing toward their goals, it’s easier to stay locked in on yours. The right community keeps you accountable, motivated, and inspired. They keep you on track when distractions try to pull you off course.

At House of Bricks, we believe in building success brick by brick, and we do it together. We’ve created a community of entrepreneurs and professionals who are dedicated to focusing on what matters and supporting each other every step of the way. When you’re part of this community, you’re never alone in your journey.

Key Takeaway: Focus is the game-changer. It’s the difference between being busy and being productive. When you narrow your focus on the right things, you become unstoppable. And when you combine that focus with the support of a community, you’re even more powerful. This week, Go Focus Yourself—and see how much more you can accomplish.

Challenge: This week, pick one major project and commit to it. Block out distractions, carve out time, and give it your full attention. And if you want to take your focus to the next level, surround yourself with people who are doing the same.

Research proves that every notification leads to 22 minutes of distraction time. No joke. So be intentional about what notifications you need and devise other ways to stay in touch with your family if they need your urgent attention. For example!

Turning notifications off has helped me keep my focus. I only have a few apps on my phone and laptop that ping.
