Today’s Word: focus

☆  focus  集中する

============================

If you focus on something, you pay attention to it, you concentrate on it, or deal with, rather than dealing with other topics. For example, this past month, my siblings and I have been focused on clearing out my mum’s apartment and selling off the items we no longer needed that weren’t sentimental.

There was a lot to sort through, and it required us to focus on it almost 24-7. Strangely though, it was good to be focusing on something other than feeling sad and grieving. Interestingly, my mother had been trying to clear out a lot of stuff, but she couldn’t really focus on it, so she only managed to declutter a small amount over the last year. On the other hand, we had a deadline of just 4 weeks, so we were able to focus on the task and get it done in a very short time.

What are you focusing on right now?

Bye,
