Keep Your Eye On The Ball
Stay focused on the most important task or goal and don't get distracted.
Examples
- In the meeting, let's keep our eye on the ball and talk only about the product launch, not the side issues.
- If you're trying to save for a trip, keep your eye on the ball — skip the small impulse buys this month.
- Okay, keep your eye on the ball: study for the exam tonight and put the phone away.
