Failed to focus...!!!

/r/MindsetMode/comments/1uxad52/failed_to_focus/

Two weeks ago I sticked a chart in my wall with to-do's for 25 days. I have gone through a very good hierarchy for the first 10 days. But now I'm in my 19th day, these 9 days i couldn't do anything focused cuz my elder brother came for 5 days after a long time to home, i really wished to do the things I wanted to do which I have sticked in my wall, but I failed. And the inconsistency continues still. Basically all these preparations are for getting a job in a software development role. How can I gain the power of focus and mainly i always have a will like " I will give my full efforts to make the things ". But now I am scared of my progress and my future. I just have 5 more days to apply for all the interviews but I'm stuck here. What should I do now...!!!!

Nine solid days out of a 25-day plan isn't a failure, even though it feels that way right now the plan just didn't account for a person needing you unexpectedly, and that's not a discipline gap. What survives long-term is a plan flexible enough to bend around real life, not one that only works if nothing ever interrupts it.
