Focus on one goal at a time(DW #828)
Oct 28, 2020
Remember what we said about being a "metaphysical glutton" and trying to change everything at once?
It seems that Benjamin Franklin realized the wisdom of focusing on one thing at a time in his quest to attain moral perfection.
His process was extremely structured and organized.
Each week, he would focus on one of the thirteen virtues to practice. He would write the virtue on top of his diary page as inspiration and would give himself a passing or failing score every single day.
Once the thirteen weeks were up, he would repeat the entire process again. In this way, he focused on a particular virtue four times during each year in rotation.
