Focus is a funny thing. I think those with brilliant minds are the ones that are most consumed and distracted. (I'm alluding to you, here.) I think each person is driven by different things. Personally, I find accountability to be a huge motivator. To that end, I work with partners on projects and try to find people who are just as passionate as I am. My partner never let's me drop the project so I continue to make progress despite whatever is distracting me at the moment. Some people use mental tricks for motivating their progress. (Like making games out of tasks. Or using systems to influence taking decisions that yield the greatest net personal gain.)

Here are some of the resources I frequent to help mold my thinking and personal refinement. Maybe something below will help.
