Focus as If You're Only in Town for a Week

Whenever I come back to New York I make an effort to see as many close friends as possible.

There's usually a great deal to do when I arrive but it's also important to see the people I care about, so I make a very focused effort to schedule my priorities and make the rounds.

Nine out of ten times I end up seeing all the people I want to, while attending to what needs to get done because I make them "musts." I'd even argue that my level of productivity is heightened because the stakes feel higher and there's less time.

What if we all focused on our goals with the same intensity as one might if they were only in town for a week? Cut out the distractions, only attended to what was absolutely essential, and prioritized your non-negotiables? 

It'd be a good week.
