To move our brain from exploratory to concentrating phase, we can take a few deep breaths or stretch or reduce the number of objects at table or closing all the tabs on laptop except the one on which you’re working right before you start to work.

WARM UP

Your attention goes where your eyes go. Sometimes when we stare at a book, we might read it and most advertisements are based on this principle too.One can improve this by a form of gazing meditation i.e. continuously looking at an object without blinking your eyes for as long as possible, one can gaze at flame of candle. It is also know as Trataka meditation.

CONTROLLING EYE MOVEMENT 

No one goes to the gym for the first time and bench 100kgs. Same goes with the attention span, so improve attention span by tracking the time in which you get distracted. And slowly build upon that.

ESCALATING SLOWLY 

Attention has ups and lows like a wave. So utilise the time when you feel more attentive (you can experiment on the times that of the day, you feel most attentive and relaxed), and do less productive works at time when attention is reduced.

ATTENTION = TIDAL WAVE

<ol><li>Pomodoro method - work in time blocks of 25 minutes with 5 minutes break and a long break of 15-20 minutes after 4 sessions of pomodoro and repeat. </li><li>Having a morning and night routine</li><li>Following the principle of Eat Move Sleep Repeat</li><li>Having an environment conducive to maintain you at flow like studying in a library rather than bed. </li></ol>
