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

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
