HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR CONCENTRATION

Added on: 3rd Jun 2016

 

 

KEEP THE RIGHT PEOPLE AROUND YOU

Keep the right people around you

Although you should respect everyone, sometimes the wisest

thing to do is not to spend time with certain people. Try to

surround yourself with friends who share your drive to work

and study well. Avoid those that have no ambition or

prevent you from focusing on things that are important.

 

 

DON'T TRY TO MULTITASK

Don't try to multitask

This means to put your phone away. The text messages can

wait. If you are driving, focus on that. If you are eating with

people, focus on that. As much as you think you can

multitask, you can’t. Human brains are not capable of

focusing on multiple things at once but they are

excellent at convincing themselves that they can.

 

 

EXERCISE

Exercise

You don’t need to start training for the Olympics but try to get at

least 30 minutes of physical activity per day. Regular exercise

boosts your metabolism and gives your body energy.

 

 

DON'T WORK IN BED

Don't work in bed

You sleep there and your body knows it. It will not work effectively.

Leave your work in your “work spot”. Don’t mix work with down time.

Bonus tip: turn off your screen at least 2 hours before bed.

The blue wavelengths from your phone/computer screen stimulate

your body and prevent you from falling asleep. Alternatively, you

can download an app that dims those wavelengths

(makes your screen more orange).

 

 

USE THE 5 MORE RULE

Use the 5 more rule

Whenever you feel like quitting before the scheduled time

just tell yourself to do 5 more of whatever you are doing.

 

 

EAT RIGHT

Eat right

Along with exercise, this will make a huge difference in your level

of concentration. Your brain and body need the right nutrients to

function properly so make use of that food pyramid.

 

 

KNOW WHEN TO STOP

Know when to stop

If it is late and you are still trying to get things done, stop.

You are not being effective. It would be better for you to

sleep a bit and wake up early to complete what you

were working on.

 

 

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Practice makes perfect

We are all human and we all only have 24 hours per day.

Part of life is learning to manage the time you have been given.

Learn from your mistakes, make changes, and do better

next time. Focus can be learned.
