September Theme: Focus on What Matters Most

focus monthly challenge

September is a turning point.

Summer is winding down, kids are heading back to school, and routines are shifting.

It’s the perfect moment to reset, reclaim your attention, and make progress before the year slips away.

Think about it — we’ve got just three solid months before December arrives.

That’s plenty of time to focus in and get something meaningful done.

The Drift Fighter

If drift is being pulled in every direction, then focus is choosing the direction that matters most.

Focus isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing the right things, with clarity and intention.

This month, we’re highlighting two Essential Habits of Everyday Heroes that build focus into your life:

  • Weekly: Identify your Top 3 Priorities for the week.
  • Daily: Choose your #1 Priority for the day.

These habits are deceptively simple, but they’re powerful.

They shift you out of reactivity — chasing emails, notifications, and distractions — and bring you into design, where you decide what gets your best energy.

When you know your top priorities, you’re not just busy — you’re building momentum.

Why Focus Matters

Your attention is your most valuable resource.

Every notification, craving, or comparison tries to steal it.

Without focus, the default is drift.

With focus, you create progress toward who you want to become — one week, one day, one choice at a time.

The 7-Day Focus Challenge

To help you put this into practice, we’re running a 7-Day Focus Challenge starting today.

Each day, you’ll get a small prompt to build awareness and practise these habits.

👉 Join the challenge inside our free community — and discover how a little focus can go a long way.

This is just the beginning.

Later this month, I’ll share my own AM/PM Focus System, how I use a bullet journal to track priorities, and a process for eliminating distractions that pull us off course.

But for now, start simple:

  1. Pick your Top 3 priorities for the week.
  2. Choose your #1 priority today.

Let’s focus!
