Word of the year 2019 – FOCUS
Every year there is a plan in mind that needs to be focused. There’s nothing new on 1st January every year except that we start searching for areas of improvement within. And make a schedule to follow it. I am no different. I also change my writing habits and my daily schedule all through the year. But wait for the new year to bring that major change in my behaviour because my focus is missing.
Many times I have the work in my hand and the time also to finish it but I just don’t focus and repent later. I wish I had superpowers. And I am going to possess them in 2019. So this year my word of the year is FOCUS. I am writing for the prompt Incredibles – superpowers I would like to get in 2019.
Superpowers I want to get
- Power of Focus – I will practice maintaining my focus. There are so many hindrances in the path of success. And I don’t want to be distracted by them. The focus is on something that needs perseverance. I will possess this power.
- Power of patience – Though I have plenty of it as compared to last year but a sea is never measured in buckets. I need the power to maintain silence and speak at times when it is actually required.
- Power to vent out my anger – This is also a resolution that carries to every next year. Still, some are achieved and a lot is left. I wish to vanish when I get angry. I know the trick to vent out my feelings and control in case of high anger. But I fail more than I succeed. I will focus to maintain my patience and be quiet in unfavourable situations.
- Power to flip the book and the book is finished – I used to finish a normal sized novel in a day or two. But gradually, my speed has gone down terribly. Like a robot, I want to just flip the book and want to finish the book in seconds. I have billions of book to read but not able to schedule it with my writings.
- Power to increase the duration of a day – As a mother, there are fewer hours but so much work to finish. Apart from managing home and kids, there is still so much to achieve but the day ends. I want to power the day this year. I want to focus on doing more in less time.
Focus is the key to success
Every superpower needs proper focus. In order to achieve goals, I need to schedule myself accordingly. Every deadline is important and every deadline needs intensive focus. Without focus there is no meaning of superpower. A slight shift of focus leads to deadliest of time wastage.

I wish I knew the way to vent out anger too, Geethica!! Love this post! Nice word, I might try it next year!! 🙂 All the best to achieve all you have set out for!
Thanks Jayanthy.
Power of patience is just incredible!! I know this is the most required superpower for any mom!! Much needed one when it comes to tolerating everything right from kids tantrums to coping up with work stress!! Great post!!
Thanks a lot
You have written so beautifully. It will be worth following though it isn’t easy for all to include in their bucket list. Best wishes.
In a world full of distractions, ‘Focus’ indeed is nothing short of a superpower. In fact, may even be the mother of all Superpower.
Also agree with what you have said about the books. So much to read, so little time..
I agree. And focus actually is the need of this hour. Thanks.
Though the list of superpowers is indeed worth getting, I guess I ll want to flip the book and get it done too:) loved the definition of focus. Good luck to acheive it all this year
Thank you Praggatti
all the superpowers are so difficult for me to manage. As i am a patient of bipolar depression.
Every depression has a solution. Don’t try to achieve everything at once. You may start with a simple achievable goal a day like reading a good article or doing makeup and feel good. There are some articles I have written on the same. If you want I may forward you the links. Thanks Sonam.
The power to increase the duration of the day is the biggest power of all. We can achieve more than what we planned if time is in our hands.
I agree, Ramya. This actually starts with our thinking. Just plan and start. Let’s see where we reach by the end of the day. Thanks
I loved the way you have tweaked the prompt to focus on the word ‘power’ . I wish I had the power to stay indifferent to toxic people
Keeping away from toxic people is a big challenge but constant practice leads you somewhere at least. Thanks Sonia.
Even if you flip a book, you won’t be able to finish all the books in this world. 😀
Nice take on the prompt 🙂
I know Maya. That’s a wish to own all the books in this world. Thanks
I want these superpowers too! My goodreads “Currently Reading” list is a testimony to superpower number 4. I am hoping to change all that this year. All the best for 2019.
Thanks a lot. Wish you the same.
Loved this post! I would love to get superpower of having patience
Thanks Vidya. Yes the power of patience is the king of all.
Focus an easy to say word and tough to work on. I wish you success with your word. Patience is something even I desire as a superpower. And the power to vent anger is something new, anger hurts me more than others and I would like to know ways to do it without hurting anyone. Nice post Geethica
Thanks a ton. Yes anger hurts me too more than anyone else. I have written some posts earlier on the same but still not able to follow because my focus is not strong yet. But I will.
