The 12 Habits that Destroy Your Focus and Productivity.
1 Having several casual relationships. They can be serious distractions, energy consuming and time draining.
2 Not practising ‘’Kaizen’’. Kaizen is a compound of two Japanese words that together translate as "good change" or "improvement", which means smaller steps leads to bigger one. Start anything you want to do and maintain regular improvement of at least 1% and see where you will be in the nearest future.
3 Not finishing what you have started. This can be more than a bad habit and stems from fears and hesitations, which can be considered as procrastination paralysis.
4 Not following the ‘’first thing first’’ rules. People who put first things first focus on the important, not just the urgent, act on priorities, plan weekly and act daily. You are putting first things first when you organize your time around the most important things and eliminate the unimportant.
5 Starting your days scrolling on Instagram and ending the day on Tiktok or snapchat. Checking social media is not only distracting and stunts productivity, but it can even spark negative feelings. Life is stressful enough, don't add to it. Begin your morning with positivity, focus on your goals and get ready conquer the day.
6 Not having control over your thoughts but allowing your mind to wander away from important things. Mind-wandering keeps you away from attention demanding tasks.
7 Disobeying the Pareto principle. The Pareto Principle states that 80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes. Investing just 20 percent of effort can help you reach 80 percent of overall result.
8 Lack of the ability to do the right thing at the right time which is the real definition of efficiency. People who do the right thing at the wrong time can be frustrated and ineffective.
9 Setting goals or tasks that lack objectives. Before making setting a goal, take a closer look at what you are trying to achieve and ask yourself if the goal is something you truly want, if it aligns with your values or other goals, and if it important enough to put in hours of time and effort into it. If you are not willing to put in the time and efforts, it may not be worth pursuing.
10 Not involving a ‘’Deadline’’ with whatever you are doing in life. Deadlines make clear what we are expected to deliver and when, which clear confusion and raise a sense of urgency.
11 Lack of patience. We lose our patience occasionally. But doing so frequently or inappropriately can harm your reputation, damage your relationships, increase stress, or escalate a difficult situation.
12 Not having enough sleep. Playing some video games or watching series when you supposed to be refreshing your brain by sleeping.

How do Intelligent People Deal with Difficult and Tox!c People.
2. Do not take anything they do or say personally. Nothing that they do or say is because of you. It is because of themselves. Don’t take anything personally because by taking things personally you set yourself up to suffer for nothing. You can never feel hurt by what they say or do until you take it personal.
3. Don’t befriend them and be more mindful about what types of people you allow into your life. Tox!c people have a way of sending out the vibe that you owe them something. They also have a way of taking from you or doing something that hurts you, then maintaining they were doing it all for you.
3. Set limits, especially with complainers. Complainers and negative people are bad news because they wallow in their problems and fail to focus on solutions. They want people to join their pity party so that they can feel better about themselves. You can avoid this only by setting limits and distancing yourself when necessary.
4. Become aware of their emotions. To maintain emotional distance, you need to be aware of those emotions. You can’t stop someone from pushing your buttons if you don’t recognize when it’s happening.

5. Do not let anyone limit your joy. When your sense of pleasure and satisfaction are derived from the opinions of other people, you are no longer the master of your own happiness. When intelligent people feel good about something that they have done, they won’t let anyone’s opinions or unpleasant remarks take that away from them.
6. Intelligent people do not focus on problems; they focus only on solutions. Where you focus your attention determines your emotional state. When you occupy your mind with problems you are facing, you create and prolong negative emotions and stress. But when you focus on actions to better yourself and your circumstances, you create a sense of personal efficacy that produces positive emotions and reduces stress.
7. They squash negative self-talk. Sometimes you can nurse negative feelings about how someone is treating you. There is nothing wrong with feeling bad about how others treat you, but your self-talk can either intensify the negativity or help you move past it. Negative self-talk can sends you into a downward emotional spiral that is difficult to pull out of. You should avoid negative self-talk at all costs.

Priceless Tips for Personal Growth, Part 1.

5. Have clear boundaries. Healthy boundaries define the appropriate and acceptable behaviour in your relationship with others; the behaviour that keeps both parties safe. Setting healthy boundaries is crucial for self-care and positive relationships.
6. Be ready to sacrifice temporary gratification for your dream. This is d£stroying a lot of the young generation. When you seek immediate gratification, you train your brain to expect immediate pleasure and reward. As a result, you will lack the motivation to pursue long-term goals or participate in activities that require effort to achieve your goals.
7. Let others’ opinions stop bothering you. Make a conscious effort to form your own opinion. But that does not mean that you should overlook feedback and constructive criticism.
8. Understand your value and stop defining yourself with others' praise or criticism. It is dangerous to let others define your sense of worth. It is risky to listen to how someone else judges your work. Feedback is good but avoid destructive ones.
9. Stop craving attention. Attention-seeking behaviour may stem from jealousy, low self-esteem, loneliness, or as a result of a personality disorder. Focus more on yourself instead of trying to impress everyone.
10. Be comfortable with being disliked by some people. Whether you like it or not, it is impossible to be liked by everyone. When you are comfortable not being liked by everyone, it allows you to be true to yourself and prepares you for greater success.
11. Be fine with being misunderstood. Being okay with being misunderstood allows your creativity to flow and lets you flourish in other relationships. It will help you to communicate more assertively.

So they placed adverts and one afternoon, an old man walked into the manager's office asking to be employed.
The manager tried to figure out how he could drive him away but couldn't come up with an idea, so he decided to give him a trial. He ordered his secretary to give him a glass of wine 🍷
He took a sip and said, "It's Red wine, Varietal, three years old, grown on rift valley, matured in steel containers."
"That's correct!" The manager exclaimed, "Well give him another one let's see." So he was given.
He took a sip again and said, "It's Guinness, a combination of barley, roast malt extract, and brewers yeast brewed around Thika road in Nairobi, Kenya 2 years ago"
"Incredible!" said the manager.
Now the manager went closer to the secretary and whispered to her saying, "Go get some of your urine in a cup let's see if he will get that."
So, the mzee was given the cup of urine. He took a sip, turned to the manager and said, "Female urine, 26 years old, 2 weeks pregnant and if I'm not given this job, Sir I will tell your wife who is responsible for the pregnancy"
