Comments on: The Power of Less – Focus http://www.ratracetrap.com/the-rat-race-trap/the-power-of-less-focus.html Tools to improve your mind and escape the trap Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:47:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Oscar - freestyle mind http://www.ratracetrap.com/the-rat-race-trap/the-power-of-less-focus.html/comment-page-1#comment-6839 Oscar - freestyle mind Sun, 16 Aug 2009 20:26:56 +0000 http://www.ratracetrap.com/?p=1558#comment-6839 I enjoyed a lot this part of the book. To be honest, I was ready to criticize an aspect of setting MITs, but while writing I realized I was procrastinating, so I'm going to stick with them again. My concern was that MITs are often unpractical because there's the assumption that you have to work on them first thing in the morning, but this cannot be the case sometimes, however I think in this case we just need to set them to something more simple. Thanks for writing this.

If I allowed it to happen I would focus more on a relationship before my education and maturity. I took her seriously. Focusing on priorities is essential but it is knowing what priorities are most important that makes it matter.
