Failure to concentrate and focus can prevent you from getting the most out of your work. Mindfulness and composure will help both in the professional sphere and in personal life. Do special exercises to develop these beneficial qualities, and you will see positive results soon.
Reasons for inattention
Observe the daily routine. Get enough sleep, eat and rest on time. The reasons for your inattention can be the usual fatigue, lack of sleep, hunger, physical discomfort.
Agree, it is difficult to concentrate after a sleepless night or during a period of illness.
Monitor your emotional state. You yourself have noticed that when something bothers you a lot, it is almost impossible to completely immerse yourself in some kind of work and focus on important things. At the same time, if your nerves are in order, and serious problems do not occupy all consciousness, you can successfully become a more collected person and concentrate on work.
Sometimes lack of focus in some business suggests that you are not interested in the actions that you are performing. In this case, you have two options: overestimate the need for this work, or find something interesting in what you are doing. Sometimes you just have to delve a little deeper into the subject being studied, and it will become clearer and more exciting. Then it will become easier for you to get together to carefully work on the object further.
Developing mindfulness
Train yourself to memorize details. There are some interesting tests and assignments for this purpose. Look for differences between two pictures, go through computer quests. Look at your desktop for a few seconds, then close your eyes and try to imagine the picture you were just looking at. Then open your eyes and compare whether you managed to recreate all the details in your memory, or a lot has escaped your attention.
Learn to concentrate. Meditation will help you with this. Make sure that no one and nothing interferes with you, and make yourself comfortable. Look at one point or at some object - a candle, a flower - and do not let your thoughts wander. Despite the primitiveness of the task, it can be very difficult to complete it. You may be surprised at how difficult it can be to take control of your consciousness and fully focus on one thing.
Gradually, you need to increase the time during which you succeeded in this exercise.
Practice finding the information you need. Scatter the numbers from one to one hundred on a piece of paper, and then look for them first in a straight line, then in a reverse order. Or take a book and look for a specific letter over several pages, counting how many times it has been printed. This exercise will help you develop mindfulness and focus on specific points.
