Focus requires practice and progress tracking.

To start practicing focus it’s best not to attempt becoming a yogi overnight, either. Think of how many hours in the day you go down social media rabbit holes, or find yourself running late because you were mulling over a fight you had and lost track of time. You’ve spent a lifetime practicing distraction, it’ll take time to practice focus.

So keeping patience close at hand, begin by making a list of five things you do each and every day; For the first task, commit that from now on, you’ll be totally focused on that task until it’s complete. Do the very best job you can at whatever the task is.
