The Worst Offender In Your Lack Of Focus

Lack of self-efficacy, that is your confidence (or belief) in navigating a challenging situation and shooting down potential obstacles is a fundamental reason for the inability to focus.

Coined in 1977 by psychologist Albert Bandura, self-efficacy is different from confidence, as it relates to a particular task or topic.
High self-efficacy results in less stress and depression and almost guarantees your personal accomplishment.
A low self-efficacy results in procrastination, failure and blame games.
