Why Does Attention To Task Matter?

Sometimes it's hard to pay attention. 

Sometimes - maybe at work or while you're supposed to be concentrating on getting something done - your mind just wanders, and you begin thinking of a song or a conversation you had earlier, or something that is more pleasant than the job you are doing.  

The problem is that your boss is watching your performance and when you stop paying attention, you start underperforming.  

Paying attention is an actual skill that every successful person needs to learn.   Everyone in every job at some point must do something tedious and repetitious.  Paying attention and tending to the task at hand is often the difference between success and failure.  Learning to pay attention is learning a lifelong skill for success.
