Annoying inattention can become a big obstacle in the way of any person and deprive him of many opportunities. The excuse “I'm just inattentive” is hardly a worthy excuse, so start tuning your attention now.
Instructions
Step 1
Eliminate the habit of pretending that you are listening when in fact your thoughts are far from the subject of the conversation. This may be due to several reasons, for example, it seems to you that what is being said, you already know, or you listen half-heartedly and go about your business. All of this reduces your mindfulness even when you really need it.
Step 2
Try to fully concentrate on the object, while postponing all other things, eliminate possible interference in the form of extraneous sounds or conversations of several people in one voice.
Step 3
When doing business, organize your workspace in such a way that all important things are always at your fingertips, and the place itself is comfortable. Distracted by finding the right one or fixing wobbly table legs, you lose your precious attention.
Step 4
It is important to be slept and rested, so sleep at least 7-8 hours a day, and during working hours, put off work at the first appearance of fatigue. During your rest, do some relaxation exercises, take a walk for a few minutes, or just look out the window at the greenery and the sky.
Step 5
Limit the emotional perception of any information, trying, first of all, to grasp its meaning.
Step 6
Get yourself a diary and a notepad for notes, where you record your planned activities and appointments, as well as information that you will never forget.
Step 7
Get in the habit of rereading and reviewing your work several times. This could be a pre-post letter or an article just written. There is no need to rush in such matters, but thanks to this skill, you will significantly increase your performance.
Step 8
Feel free to ask questions. This contributes to both the development of intelligence and mindfulness, because it is at this moment that you more clearly record information in your brain and delve into its essence.
Step 9
There are many mindfulness exercises and games, and many of them are familiar to us from childhood. For example, drawings for finding several differences.
Step 10
Learn to perceive information audibly, as it is visually presented and requires less concentration. Such relaxation deprives you of mindfulness, while what is said out loud disciplines, quickly turns on perception, and you delve into the information the same second.
