The app – Headspace has a crazy new #startup space in #siliconbeach LA. Such an amazing app & and work location. Do you know other awesome work spaces? P.s: This is a reshare image. I’m close by but haven’t visited yet! On a serious note – I’ve seen a lot of startups explode fast & die because they ramped up their burn rate out of the excitement. I’m sure headspace is KILLING it right now. The reality for us all is still to stay focused on the product & business. Everything else will come through. #startup #startups #business #growth #meditation #headspace

When was the last time you allowed your inner child to come out and play? #tbt the dunes of the Empty Quarter just beyond Abu Dhabi. My pants and hair have never been more full of sand, but it’s probably one of the best feelings in the world to roll around in the dirt.

Pause your scrolling for a mere second & say this with me, “Less Moves, More Focus”. What’s that mean? It means to pause the ‘busy’ of today. Examine where you can be more strategic with your time & efforts. It is about removing those distractions that you can control to be more productive. The LESS DISTRACTED you are, the MORE SUCCESSFUL you can be at whatever it is you want to do. BURN BABY, BURN! Like a magnifying glass used to burn a leaf on the concrete from the sun’s rays, you are not nearly as effective if you keep moving the magnifying glass. Burning that leaf will take a lot longer. Distractions are not useful and end up taking up A LOT more time. Yet when you hunker down, eliminating distractions, (less moves more focus), you achieve what you set out to do with potent results. ARE YOU ADDICTED TO DISTRACTION? These days, our society is addicted to distraction. With Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Pinterest, news feeds, YouTube or other video sites, emails, texts, & apps, how much time do you actually NEED to spend on your electronics? Not only that, but how much do they distract you throughout the day? That notification or text that pops up beckoning you enticingly to check it… Now. I GOT 99 DISTRACTIONS, BUT THIS AIN’T ONE: These distractions begin to live in our thought processes (I’m just going to ‘zone out’ for one minute, then get back to this) our attitudes (I deserve to do this) and ultimately our outlook. We invite these seemingly harmless distractions in, yet unchecked & unharnessed, they can wreak havoc and lukewarm results in the areas of your life you value most. PURPOSEFULLY REFOCUSING: Quality time with family or friends, exercise, reading books, or practicing your passion, get elbowed out of the way bit-by-bit as distractions steal your time and destroy your focus. The extra hour you ‘zoned out’ could have been spent on something of true value that adds to your life. TAKE AWAY: A warm encouragement today, darling, to have less distractions and more focus, to use your time wisely knowing how precious it is, and to be aware of how easy an addiction can become if you are not ‘aware’ & intentional about your time.
