Focus on one aspect of the idea

 The best way to focus on one aspect of an idea is to break it down into smaller parts. Recognize what the idea is and create a list of things that are not part of the idea. You will then see which items belong. 

For example, you want a fresh start for your blog so you examine your blog entries from last week or last month. You might find that there are some posts that do not belong in the fresh start category, but should still be published or archived in another way (sticky note, saved in Evernote). There might also be posts that need to be edited or rewritten, or deleted altogether because they are no longer relevant.

What if you could focus on one aspect of your life and see it improve? You know, like how some people say that meditating can help you live a healthier lifestyle. Or how working out can help you sleep better. That’s the idea behind the new app, Focus - and it's gaining popularity in Silicon Valley.

The premise is simple: Give the app access to your phone's camera so it knows where your face is looking when you're not using it. It'll then send a notification to remind you to look away from your screen for an hour or two each day. Here are some ways Focus will change the way you live your life.
