Due to inattention, the number of errors, both small and significant, increases. To become a more focused and collected person, you need to work on yourself.
Reasons for inattention
First, identify the reasons for your inattention. Based on them, it will be easier for you to cope with it. Perhaps you do not remember some things, because they are simply not interesting to you. In this case, you should understand whether it is really important or not. If this question matters to you, it's time for you to learn to be more collected. If not, just cross the thing you can't focus on from your list.
Maybe you don't notice certain things because you can't focus on the details. Then you need to work on yourself in order to learn to concentrate more deeply on one subject. Do not be scattered over several activities, work on one project, but immerse yourself in it completely.
Sometimes the reason for inattention is extraneous thoughts that are constantly spinning in a person's head. If this is your case, consider what problems are preventing you from living and working. Until you eliminate them, you will not be able to calm down. When you cannot resolve the issue, reconsider your attitude towards it. There is no point in worrying about him over and over again and not being able to concentrate because of it.
If you observe the usual absent-mindedness in yourself, accustom yourself to put things strictly in the places designated for them and write down important things in a diary. Set yourself reminders if you absolutely need to do something. If you work on your focus along the way, you won't need these clues soon enough.
Become more attentive
Special techniques and exercises will help you become a more attentive person. First, you should develop your memory: visual and auditory. Come up with tasks for yourself or find them in manuals or the Internet. For example, memorize a complex of objects for a certain time, and then with closed eyes reproduce them in memory. Gradually complicate the task: take less time to memorize or add new items. Listen to a passage of text two or three times, and then try to write down what you remember. Increase the text over and over to listen.
Second, learn to concentrate better. Daily meditation will help you with this. This will teach you how to calm down unnecessary thoughts and focus on one thing. There is a large amount of information on how to conduct meditation in a variety of sources. The easiest way is to find a quiet, peaceful place, make sure that you are not disturbed, sit comfortably, close your eyes and observe your own thoughts until they practically disappear. At first, it will be very difficult for you to follow this seemingly simple instruction. But with regular practice, you will notice that you have become less fussy and can immerse yourself in the current work with your head.
