It All Starts With Your Focus Every time you are distracted, the energy and momentum you had moving a project forward is halted, and you need to start over.

Have you ever arrived early to a meeting and started a conversation with a colleague about another project you''re working on? Have you ever been reading and reviewing new e-mail in your inbox, and had someone stop by your desk to ask you, "Do you have a minute?"
