I’m in touch with a lot of college students, one common problem with a majority of them is the lack of FOCUS.<\/p>\n
A snapshot of thoughts running in their mind:<\/p>\n and a few days later…<\/p>\n and a few days later…<\/p>\n and many other such thoughts…<\/p>\n The major problem is,<\/p>\n Every other new thing that college students come across, we just leave everything and start exploring that.<\/p>\n I’m not saying any point mentioned on the top is bad,<\/p>\n I’m not saying hustling is bad,<\/p>\n I’m not saying doing multiple things at a time is bad,<\/p>\n I’m not saying that exploring new things is bad,<\/p>\n I’m just saying that we have forgotten the importance of I repeat,<\/p>\n we have forgotten the importance of In the hustle of being good at everything, we end up doing nothing.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n We are being constantly distracted!<\/p>\n A Youtube video, a LinkedIn article, a tweet, an Instagram live is just enough to create a FOMO.<\/p>\n Few examples:<\/p>\n But the problem is after watching every such video\/article,<\/p>\n we feel that if we don’t do this today, we are missing out on something really very important, a big FOMO.<\/p>\n The rate at which information is injected into our heads today is insane. We are just unconsciously setting up our expectations extremely high, just because of these intelligent distractions.<\/p>\n And another big problem is, we attach all these professional accomplishments directly to our happiness.<\/p>\n I know what you will ask me now,<\/p>\n So should I leave everything and get disconnected from everyone?<\/p>\n Should I stop exploring new things around and become a bookworm?<\/p>\n Should I not watch\/read anything?<\/p>\n Should I not hustle and should I just settle for less?<\/p>\n Is that the solution?<\/p>\n TBH, I don’t know the right solution to this.<\/p>\n What I know is:<\/p>\n We don’t have control over the information which is intelligently pushed into our heads.<\/p>\n We don’t have control over what things we come across on social media.<\/p>\n But what is in our control is our consciousness<\/span>.<\/p>\n The best solution which I can think of is Realization<\/span>.<\/p>\n First step is just to realize and accept that all this is happening to me.<\/p>\n I should understand how important it is to consciously avoid FOMO.<\/p>\n I should realize I’m not a superhuman.<\/p>\n I should realize that not everything new thing which has made someone successful will also make me successful.<\/p>\n I should stop running after every other new thing I come across.<\/p>\n to sum this all up,<\/p>\nThey are in a constant FOMO.<\/code><\/p>\n\n
