A person can train not only muscles, but also memory and attention. To learn how to quickly switch attention from one type of activity to another, it is enough to work in a comfortable environment, from time to time to rest and train, performing simple exercises.
Instructions
Step 1
Take tests that determine the degree of concentration and the level of distribution of your attention. Usually they are tables with numbers of different colors or pictures that need to be grouped in a certain order or found in a limited time. Find out the results. If the results are not very impressive, practice before going through a series of similar tests. But even if, according to the results of the assignments, you exceeded the wildest expectations, you should not stop there.
Step 2
Switching attention is directly related to the ability to distribute it in accordance with the task at hand. It is also known that the body begins to protest if a person thinks for a long time only about something negative or problematic. In order not to oppress your body, try switching to thoughts of good for a short time while solving some problems.
Step 3
As soon as you feel that your mind is overshadowed by thoughts of something unpleasant, imagine all the problems in a different light. Think about how some cartoon or comedy hero would solve them. Or, if you cannot show all your imagination at the moment, think about children, your hobby, an interesting movie. In general, about everything that causes you positive emotions.
Step 4
If you are engaged in mental work, it is useful to take a break from business for at least 5 minutes once an hour and do some physical exercises, eye gymnastics, or just get some fresh air by standing by the window. You yourself will notice that it is as if your strength and the necessary concentration have returned to you. Refusal from such "five minutes" can lead to memory impairment, attention and fatigue, which will not have the best effect on business.
Step 5
Concentration on business does not always require complete silence. On the contrary, quiet music, noise outside the window promotes concentration of attention, which from time to time "switches" on its own, for example, if you heard some kind of harsh sound or a beautiful musical passage.
Step 6
To be "like Julius Caesar", who, according to legend, could do several things at the same time, it is enough to practice through a simple exercise. Try to write with your left and right hand at the same time first, for example. digits in order, and then - after one or in reverse order. Practice this for a few minutes, noting the number of mistakes along the way. Then do something else, and after 5-10 minutes try this exercise again. Alternate exercise and other activity for an hour. You will notice that the number of errors decreases each time. Train from time to time in such a way as to learn how to distribute attention and switch from one activity to another.
