Limitless methods (Part IV)

Limitless methods (Part IV)

"Concentration is something you can learnand something you can practice to get better at." - former monk Dandapani.

  • Quick actions to improve focus:
  1. Breathe. Use the 4-7-8 method (inhale through nose for 4, hold for 7, exhale through mouth for 8 counts). Repeat 4 times.
  2.  Close the task loop for your brain. Handle that thing first that you've been avoiding & so is causing you stress.
  3. Schedule time for distractions, things like worries & obligations that are hard to avoid. Specify a time after finishing the task that needs your focus right now.
  • Multitasking and clutter (mental & physical) are the biggest enemies of focus.
  • Allow some white space in your schedule. Whitespace is "the thinking time, the strategic pause that's in between the busyness...(it's) the oxygen that allows everything else to catch fire." - Juliet Funt
