The Formula For Release of Attention

When my business partner and I were building the accountability tracker,I contacted Zivorad Slavinski and asked him if I could use Vlademir’s “Formula for Release of Attention” listed on his site. It’s still the best way I know to get things done, whether it’s personally, professionally, or around the house.

Check it out:
Decisions, Goals and the Goal Structure:

When we make a decision, a few things happen. Every time when you create a goal, you polarize yourself between your CURRENT STATE, and the Goal you want to achieve.

Let’s say, you create a goal to earn a lot of money. Your current state is “I don’t have a lot of money” (one side of the pole), and your goal is “I want to have a lot of money”, (the other side of the pole).

Every time you create a goal, it’s the opposition of your current state. Either you want something, to have or to be, what you do not have or you are not now (the current state), or it is something you want to prevent from becoming/happening. In either case, it is a polarisation.

It is achieved. You earned a lot of money, and you current state (I have money) becomes equal to your goal (to have money). The polarities merge and disappear, and the tension is released. This is also called the Goal Structure.

The Goal Structure consists of your current state, the goal that you want to achieve and the tension between the two – between the current state and the goal. The most important to understand is – once a goal is achieved, the goal structure falls apart and you remain in emptiness. This applies to any goal in life.

There are 3 ways for a decision to disappear:

1. To achieve it in reality
2. To achieve in the mind
3. To cancel it

Make a number of lists that contain things that keep your attention attached. Right down all unfinished cycles, things you postpone to do, things you could not do for any reason, but you still want to do them… Do not put on these lists things that you canceled by your own free will. If you canceled a decision, there is no defeat, and your attention is not attached and energy blocked in that particular decision. The point of this technique is to finish unfinished cycles where your attention is attached.

FIRST STEP:

So, the first step is to make the following lists:

1. Things I have left unfinished

2. Things I keep postponing to do

3. Things I am unable to start

4. Things I am unable to cease to do

That was the first step.

SECOND STEP: Look at the lists and choose the EASIEST thing you can do or complete RIGHT NOW.

THIRD STEP: DO IT IMMEDIATELY!!!

FOURTH STEP: Select the following EASIEST thing from the list you can do or complete and DO IT! CONTINUE SO UNTIL THE END OF THE LIST!

This formula will improve the quality of your life IMMEDIATELY. It needs to be done once, and latter you will need only short interventions. It is especially important to relief your attention when you cannot cope with life, when there are too many problems. But even if you are not in major life crises, this tool will help you immensely.

When you wright down lists, don’t write down the things in any specific order or hierarchy. Write them down as they come up in your mind. I will repeat once again – do not right down thing that your consciously canceled, and there is no defeat.

Apart from these four lists, you can add some more, if there are some particular area where you attention is attached, and it does not fit in the above four lists. Or if you have any other reason to add a new list.

As Zivorad says in the book “CREATON: THE CREATION MASTER GAME”, do not race with calendar or a clock. Many of the things from the list will probably require some time to finish.

Do the first easiest thing completely, then do the second one… and all the way till the end. Don’t make drama out of it.

You will feel much better, as soon as you start doing this. Your ability to deal with problems and life in general will increase gradually.

Your ability to deal with very difficult problems will gradually increase. Things that in the beginning look very difficult will look very achievable latter.

Don’t forget, when you achieve the goal, the whole goal structure disappears, the attentions is relieved, the energy released, and not blocked when you need it latter.

Now you are ready to go. It is simple. It is an ultimate life management tool. Feel free to ask questions regarding this (e-mail: vladimirŽarelena.com )
