How to improve concentration

It is increasingly difficult to concentrate on one thing. It is often disrupted by external things. This requires us to have a strong willpower and concentration. Below is my summary

Some self-considered effective methods.

1. Set limits

Think about how long it will take you to finish something in advance. Take me for example, if I don't set limits such as "I will stop working at five o'clock", I will work in the early morning. Setting limits for myself is to tell my brain to focus, because my time is limited.

2. Prioritize the most important tasks

Similarly, I set several rules to make myself more focused. For example, "if I didn't write 500 words, I wouldn't check my email, or I wouldn't log on to Renren if I didn't finish today's highlights. "This is very effective because I am not only setting borders, but also prioritizing To-Do items, and reminding myself to do the most important thing first. For me, if I check my email or Renren in the morning, I will not be able to focus on other things.

3. eliminate interference

Clean up your messy desk. Close browser labels (especially those mailbox pages ). Disable various voice notifications. Disable the mobile phone. To focus on my work, I even temporarily unplugged the network cable. You can set a time limit for yourself and focus on the same thing during this time period. When the deadline is reached, reward yourself.

4. Motivation

Clarifying your motivation will help you increase your concentration and complete your tasks. You need to know why you want to focus on something and what the consequences will be if you don't focus on it.

Do you know? We tend to be more motivated to avoid suffering than to pursue happiness. So when you cannot get yourself started to do something, think about the pain you experience and it will help you put it into action. This is a bit like forcing you to focus and move forward.

In addition, you can imagine what your life will look like if you move in one direction. Imagine your ideal life. Make it clearly visible and make it appear in your mind at all times.

5. Only one thing at a time

After selecting a task, focus on it. At any time, you should ask yourself, "What is the most important thing in my list? "Then select one thing and ensure," I will focus on it in the next three months (or until it is completed). If it is not completed, I will not do anything else.

6. Create a "Ceremony" that can bring you into the status"

Habits are our nature. Practice makes perfect. Our brain also has the same perception, not just in terms of action.

In terms of writing, it requires a high degree of attention. So I created a series of methods that can help me focus on writing. My method is as follows: first bring yourself a cup of tea/coffee, then sit down and put on your earphones, and open the "nawangkhechog" on the iPod ", open a new word document and background management module. I am in the status!

This method was developed based on years of practical experience. I found that the more times I repeat this issue (strictly following the prescribed sequence), the more I can adapt to and enhance my mind, I can get the expected results more easily.

Go and create a way to turn you into focus. Today's progress is a small step, and you will have a huge leap in the future. Recently I have created a method that allows me to get up early and write for 30 minutes every day. (I am still studying how to get myself up early .)

7. Take some time to adapt

If you feel overwhelmed and upset. The best practice is to spend some time introspective. It is very important to do things alone, so that you can communicate with yourself and listen to your inner wisdom.

When you are alone and effectively learning, "charging", and reflecting, you will become clear, you will understand, and you will learn to focus. If you do not know where to start, please refer to the "12 questions" I wrote to solve the problem ". I also recommend that you sit quietly and observe your thoughts.

8. Take a deep breath

When you start a new day, ask yourself a question: "Are you breathing? "Then take a few deep breaths. Ask yourself, "Do I feel relaxed now? "If your answer is" not relaxed ", do not do anything first, and then take a deep breath.

9. Enjoy the moment

Enjoy the moment. Now is what we have. Life only exists in the present. Cherish it, bless it, appreciate it, and experience it. Whatever you do, live a full life ......
