With all the crazy stuff going on all around us all day long it can be tough to stay focused.
But I would argue that is exactly why we must stay focused.
Some people do this by getting off social media apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Some people do this by using features like Screen Time to manage phone addiction.
Some people do this by adding meditation and other mindfulness practices to their daily routines.
All of these are good things and helpful.
For me, it is important to keep the things that really matter to me (family, friends, USV and our portfolio, my causes) front and center in my mind and tune everything else out.
I know what happened yesterday. But I don’t let it take up too much space in my brain.
It is not that I don’t care about all of it. I really do.
But I can’t do that much about it and I can do a lot about the things that I am focused on.
So I focus on them and let the craziness pass me by.
