Poor concentration of attention in each person manifests itself in its own way. Someone is not too focused on what the interlocutor is saying; the other begins to get confused in thinking during intense brain activity; the third cannot pay attention to anything at all if noise reigns around. Spend some time introspection: when is it difficult for you to concentrate? What channels of perception are involved in this? Taking the time to observe yourself will help you choose the right ways to improve your ability to concentrate.
Do only one task at a time
Some people have a habit of trying to do more than one thing at the same time. At the same time, their brains fail to bring at least one of the cases to a high-quality result: it simply does not have time to accommodate and process such a data stream at a time. If you want to be more aware of what is happening, do only one task at a time.
Take biological rhythms more seriously
Determine what is optimal for you during the day and night in order to be as active as possible, and when you, on the contrary, are passive, and there is exhaustion. Start performing tasks that require you to concentrate on them to the maximum, at a time during which there is a peak of efficiency and activity.
Create silence for yourself
It is very important to isolate yourself from the slightest distractions at least occasionally. Try to spend at least part of the day at work in a quiet, calm space, free of irritants. If you feel comfortable in the place where you work, your overall performance and ability to concentrate on something, in particular, will increase.
Manage thoughts, develop memory and plan
How to work efficiently? Make sure not only that nothing bothers you from the outside, but also about inner peace. Before starting work, relax, drop all thoughts about other matters and focus on what you have to work on. Developing a plan in which you organize all the tasks that need to be completed will help to increase your concentration. Only after completing the first point can you move to the second, etc. With a developed memory, it is much easier for us to operate with the information received, and we also concentrate better while doing work. With a developed memory, much less time and effort is required to find the necessary information.
Don't postpone until tomorrow
Start to carry out the task at once, do not postpone it for later. Sometimes interest in a particular business comes already in the process of execution. To maintain your concentration, get down to business as soon as the opportunity arises. It is difficult just to get started - interest will surely arise later.
No overwork
How many tasks per day are you trying to complete and how many are you actually doing? The more tasks you want to take on, the more likely you are to get stressed. Due to the exorbitant amount of stress, the free flow of your energy is obstructed and your concentration is weakened. When planning your day, list only what you can do.
Decide which tasks are your priority
Energy reserves are limited, and people get tired of it. If you want to avoid asking the agonizing question of how to work effectively, use your abilities rationally. Concentrate on the tasks that are most important to you. Less important tasks can be completed later.
Control your thoughts
Every time your thoughts drift away from what you should be doing, clearly say to yourself: "Stop!" - and return your thoughts to the task at hand. Are you unsure of yourself and have doubts about the outcome due to past problems with concentration? Trust in your ability and forget about negative attitudes. Convince your inner voice to say to you instead: "I will not succeed," - "I can do everything, I will succeed." A person who believes in his own strength can perfectly concentrate on his tasks.
