The process of focusing to your big picture starts a pile of small tasks, ideas, books you have read, hobbies you love, hobbies you haven’t even started yet and all kinds of other activities that at first don’t seem to have anything in common.
It’s the one happy mess that most of have learned to call life.

If you don’t have a clear big picture, you are lost. Every activity seem just as important as the next – and none of them seems to lead anywhere. So you end up working on the easy ones that call for your attention with the loudest voices.
Is this how you love to spend your days? If not, you might want to consider adopting a new habit.

We live in a world that does its best to keep us busy all the time. We go to work, rushing to get our projects done, then get home to take care of urgent tasks like paying bills, shopping, and in the case of the insanely interested, to juggle between the different things we want or have promised to do.
In the middle of all of this hassle it’s really easy to get lost.

Yesterday, I posted a look back at the first year of this blog’s existence, and highlighted some posts from every month to show the progress that has been made throughout the past twelve months.
This first year has taught me a lot about blogging, life, and what I want to achieve through this blog. Now is the time to switch to a new gear, and start the second year.

With one year of blogging behind, I’m now taking the first steps into year two. But before that, today is a perfect day for taking a deep breath and looking back to everything that has happened during these past 367 days.

Focus is often seen as the ability to concentrate in one thing – even to the extent of flow, in which you forget all about the surrounding world as you immerse yourself in the one thing that really gets you excited.
While that’s a great way of looking at focus, it’s not complete.

Time is an amazing concept. It flies by no matter what you do or don’t do. You can’t stop it: the clocks keep ticking no matter what you do.
But at the same time it’s also one of the most subjective things in this world. When you measure time as the number of things a person has achieved in his life, It’s as if some people were given double the amount of time – and some would barely have gotten the minimum.
