With maximum concentration, the level of productivity increases significantly, and the quality of the tasks performed increases. This has a positive effect on any area of human life. But how do you improve this skill? There are a couple of proven ways to develop concentration.
Listen to your breathing. In yoga there is an exercise aimed at developing concentration. It lies in the ability to track your breathing. Sit cross-legged and close your eyes. Start breathing deeply and slowly. Concentrate as much as possible on your breathing and do not let extraneous thoughts enter your head. As soon as attention switches to another object, bring your consciousness back to breathing. At first, the duration of the exercise should not exceed 3-5 minutes, then you can move on to longer sessions (up to one hour).
Constant training. Concentration can be compared to muscle. The more you train her, the better she works. Therefore, it is necessary to train concentration daily for at least half an hour. This can be done even during normal business hours. Set a timer for the right time, decide on the task and try to concentrate as much as possible on completing it within the specified time.
Focus on the little things. Try to pay attention to the little things throughout the day. For example, remember the sequence of traffic lights on your way to work or the number of glasses of water you drink. Focusing on sounds also helps to develop concentration. Close your eyes for five minutes and concentrate fully on the background noise.
