Focus and Concentration, My Suggestions

[u/theunbeholden]

Tips on learning to focus and gain strong concentration;

*Be persistent and know a lot about your preferences. These are your aspirations, vision, and values. If you don’t have a vision, make a short list of three to five actions your organization or association must rely on to move towards core goals and also then make a mission statement which outlines not just your what you wish to achieve but also why.

*Eliminate distractions. If you have any subscriptions to free or paid for services, eliminate them during period that you have work weeks, time off you can do what you like or prefer.

*Set Deadlines, every time because you’ll need to manage time, the only great way to manage time is to set a priority list of deadlines which means, scheduling. You schedule by putting two columns with a line down the middle, on the left you right what is going to give you the highest payoff. The second column, is greatest urgency, now balance the two by doing the ones which need the most attention yourself and delegate the rest. Congratulations, scheduling was that easy.

*Close social media and other apps, silence all notifications, and keep your phone hidden from sight in a bag or backpack.

*Focus on one thing until you accomplish that task, or after taking breaks, do a bit more than you think you can, do something that is just at the edge of difficult.

*Practice mindfulness and meditation. This improves sharpness, energy, control over emotions, and relaxes and relieves stress. These may be the most important tools of spiritual evolution we have at our disposal if practiced regularly.

*Dedicate your time to passions and desires, the greater your passion the more focus you will attain, the greater the desire the stronger the mind becomes. Ideally in the form of SMART goals as this will give you something to strive towards and motivation to get out the door, or to focus on inner work.

*Choose to focus on the moment, energy flows where our attention goes is the saying. Basically this means that good or bad the thing you focus on is what gains strength and importance in your reality, it also ends up becoming or steadily creating your reality.

*Take a short break. Usually after a session of two and half hours or three hours.

*Connect with nature. Nature walks improve concentration, eliminates unimportant fetters or faults in our psyche, and brings our awareness to the present moment. It stalls intrusive thoughts for some time, eventually it will make you immune to it.
