How to increase one’s concentration?

2

There’s only so far one can go. The internet and the shiny little things we carry around that we call phones haven’t made things better.

Something that maybe will help to increase the concentration is take away the distractions like the cellphone, if you like to work with music put something soft and that can help to focus, and make some little pauses of 5 min to stretch or rest for a little moment

one thing i like to do is to set a timer of around 1hr and set goals on what id like to complete within that hour. i also like to give myself a reward afterwards, for example using my phone for 20 mins after im done with my work. when you have a time limit, it creates a lil bit of stress that can motivate you to complete your tasks. btw not all stress is bad stress! having a healthy amount of stress is beneficial in increasing your motivation, productivity, and concentration when doing work.

this is just a lil tip that works for me, maybe you could try it out too! hope it helps❤️

hey there, just my personal opinion below :slight_smile:

  1. Slow down and practice mindfulness: I think that we are always bombarded by information and everything attracts our attention. It is easy to say but difficult to work on mindfulness. It involves being aware of your thoughts and your actions. I’m still working on it through yoga, breathing exercises and more nature walks.

  2. Eliminate distractions: While I do scroll, I do admit that Tiktok and IG reels are effective in shortening my attention span haha

  3. Of course, getting enough sleep. Having not enough sleep will just make me grouchy, sensitive and overthink. Taking power naps help too.

  4. Lastly, dont multitask! I think it’s very common for us to do so under the name of being efficient but multitasking means you cant focus on one task alone!

Good luck! I like that you are working on yourself, impressive!
