Don’t blow off the task of putting this list somewhere you can see it. Winifred Gallagher’s book Rapt: Attention and the Focused Life explores a simple theory: Your life is the sum of what you focus on, therefore managing where you put your attention is the key to happiness and fulfillment. Gallagher argues that in the world of e-mails, cell phones, cable TV, and texts, we are totally overloaded because there are too many things demanding our attention. According to scientists, we remember only one of every hundred or so things that come across our mind. Like a cup that’s filled with water to the brim, anything new that you pour on top will just spill over the edges and be lost.

This phenomenon is why you can receive an e-mail, think I’ve got to reply to that, but then get distracted and focus on something else almost immediately. It takes just one phone call, one text, one more e-mail, or a Twitter alert to pop on your screen and it’s already slipped from your mind. That’s why you need to put this somewhere where you’ll review it daily or use this trick: Type it up and e-mail it to yourself every morning as a reminder.

Now that you understand the feelings and excuses you need to push through, the question becomes what are you pushing toward, exactly?
