There are several things that we are concerned about in life, from personal problems to global warming to the US elections. However, we can directly influence only few among those.
All those things that we are concerned about lie within our circle of concern and those that we can directly make a difference to lie within our circle of influence. The key to success lies in focussing and prioritizing factors that lie within our circle of influence.
Why dont you try it out?
- Draw two concentric circles on an A4 size sheet.
- Label the outer one as Circle of Concern.
- Label the inner one as Circle of Influence.
- Stick the sheet above your table.
- Start listing all your concerns within the appropriate circles.
- Begin by focussing on the ones within the inner circle.
- Track your progress.
Let me know if it works.

Hey this is really smart.
I'll definitely try it.
What do your circles look like? Balanced?
And I think its really a good idea for people who get worked up with the things happening around them which they cannot do much about!
