In fact, even without having any disease associated with a concentration disorder, it is sometimes difficult to feel that you are really focused on the task that you are doing right now. And that's why Jennifer Koretsky's article seemed extremely interesting to me.
Jennifer suggests taking a few steps to sharpen your attention:
- Manage stress both at work and in your personal life. Without the ability to concentrate, you simply cannot cope with stress, and under its pressure it is so difficult to concentrate. Therefore, you need to be able to gather in any situation. For meditation, you can use the strangest places — for example, an office toilet, because the main thing here is that no one interferes.
- Clearly distinguish between working and non-working hours. If you are preparing a terrible mixture of work and personal life, you are asking for more stress and lack of concentration, because you are unlikely to be able to think about one thing. Do not read personal correspondence at work and vice versa.
- Take a break: have a snack or just take a walk. Even if everything needs to be done yesterday, it's worth taking a break to give the brain a rest, which will lead to much better results. If you work at home, take your dogs for a walk, if in the office, find a park or a public garden nearby.
- Work to your rhythm. Notice how you feel during the day and soon you will understand when you are best able to cope with even the most difficult tasks. For example, you may not need to do a serious and demanding business immediately after lunch.
- Spend at least fifteen minutes a day planning. The key to success in business is planning. By thinking about actions in advance, you help yourself to be more effective. In addition, you should have a sense of control over time and your life.
