Have you ever heard of shiny object syndrome?Shiny object syndrome is our desire to get so sidetracked by an exciting or new project that we ignore the long-term growth of our business.We've all fallen victim to it at some point... but it's important to stay aware of it to avoid getting distracted from our goals.It can be hard to resist the urge to chase every new idea that comes your way, but if you're not careful, it can end up costing you more time and money than you could imagine.Here are ways you can avoid shiny object syndrome and put your focus back where it belongs:<ol><li>Live in "Day-Tight" Compartments.&nbsp; Today is surrounded by darkness. It is dark in the morning and dark in the evening. Concentrate on what you need to do during those dark times of "TODAY."</li><li>Prioritize: What is really the "First" thing you need to do today? What is the next thing you need to do?</li><li>Say "No."&nbsp; Covey says that in order for us to say no, we need to say "Yes" to a more burning desire. In order to say "No" to our addictive lifestyle, we need to say "Yes" to "Active" Recovery.</li><li>Move: When your day is troubled, ask yourself who moved. Did I move, or did the Creator move? I can almost guarantee that we moved, not God.</li><li>Control our devices: One line in the Eagles' song says, "We are prisoners of our own devices." This is actually an insult, but it is also true. Stay out of slippery places to avoid recovery relapses, as the saying goes. This is completely true. What is also true is that we can go anywhere on this planet as long as we have a legitimate reason for being there.</li></ol>How do you deal with shiny object syndrome?
