About this episode

Do you struggle to identify your priorities and stay focused on achieving your goals?

In this week's episode, I talk about what it means to be fully focused and its significance in achieving your career goals, especially if you are considering a path in interior design. This is a prelude to next week's interview with Sierra Collins, a seasoned full-focus planner coach, and a deep dive into the Full Focus Planner and how it can transform your professional and personal life.

I also introduce Greg McCowan's concept of Essentialism and provide practical strategies to prioritize and achieve a fulfilling career in interior design by 2024.

What are you waiting for? Tune in and seize the opportunity to reflect on what truly deserves your focus, setting intentions that will shape your path into 2024. Don't just dream of a successful design career—make it a reality by embracing the power of focus!

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

  • Reframe your mind on how to prioritize tasks, set intentional goals, and overcome the pitfalls of multitasking
