It depends On what your focusing on, but I recommend for work etc to have time slots.. for example 30 mins of work and then a 5 min break. I also recommend essential oils which help concentration. Try yoga and meditation to boost your concentration levels! I give myself small rewards after completing a task, this could be a small snack or a slightly longer break from work Hope this helps and if you need anything more make sure to ask .
I’m a fan of breaking down big tasks down into small bits and then setting a deadline for each of those. Google Tasks (part of mail or calendar) is a wonderful way of keeping such lists because you can have a big project - “Clean the garage” - and then add subtasks - “cut up and recycle boxes” “put goodwill donations in car” - and assign each of those subtasks a due date. Reminders will be sent to your phone if you have the app installed and they will appear on your google calendar too.
I like to concentrate on my end goal - to get off another diabetes med and to feel great. I envision the final me and a new, healthier lifestyle.
Have you tried a pomodoro timer? It basically had you work for 25mins, then rest for 5. The catch is that you need to force yourself to WORK during those 25mins, no texting, spacing out, etc. If 25mins seems like a long time to focus starting out, start smaller! Even 5 minutes of pure focus with maybe 1 minute rest is a great start. You can do this!
1. Put on some music that can help you stay focused 2. Find a place that’s quiet (ex:bedroom) 3. Or watch a productive YouTube video(s) (YouTube acc.:tbhstudying, studyquill,revisgn,)
Yes. I’m so easily distracted and between my kids and phone calls, i feel like the little focus i have is given to them.
Perhaps Sit at your desk, put your phone in the other room where you can’t hear it or reach it have everything you need to focus on the task at hand and just get started.
As an adult with ADD/ADHD I have struggled with staying focused. A couple of years ago, I started using the pomodoro technique. Break work into 25 minute intervals separated by short breaks. It helped me a lot. Good luck!
I recommend a few apps, "Cold Turkey" for PC, it blocks websites and apps, so you don’t get distracted. The second app is for your smartphone, and it’s called "Stay focused," it can also block apps. These apps are great for procrastination because they’re hard to stop once you have set your timers to block stuff. Lastly try the Pomodoro technique, you work for 25 minutes and then get a 5-minute break, apparently, this also helps with focus. You can use "Tide" as a timer. Above all, "Headspace Plus" is excellent for focus; it trains your brain to get good at focus, its a meditation app. Also, exercise and proper nutrition will help.
When you are feeling distracted is usually also a feeling of tiredness. Try doing energizing breathing exercises. I liked the breathing app but there also a few others you can try. Good luck!
