How To Stay Focused

Now a day’s many of us find that staying focused on something is not so easy. For most of the people especially for students it has became a big challenge. 

Practically it’s much more difficult than saying. As 24/7 we are surrounded by multiple distractions. It could be social media, different apps, online games and so on....

Staying focused can help you accomplish almost anything, from studying for a test to finishing your work an hour early. Staying focused can help improve your professional life, and also help you come up with a solution to problems at a quicker speed.

If you want to know how to stop checking your Facebook, Whatsapp or phone every fifteen minutes and how to stay focused on the task ahead of you then just follow these super tips.

Train Your Brain to Focus
​Your brain learns by doing. Which means the more you engage yourself  in checking your facebook, whatsapp, email or Twitter 1,000 times a day the easier it becomes to continue to engage in it. You’ve trained your mind to feel some sort of reward for being distracted, and that needs to stop.
Instead, train your brain to stay focused by catching yourself before you fall into bad habits. Each time you feel yourself being distracted stop as soon as you can.
The harder you make it to become distracted, the more your mind will stay focused.

Minimize multitasking
Our mind is unable to focus on more than one thing at a time, and in fact, ‘multi-tasking’ just means switching from one thing to another. And the more we switch the more energy we use. And the more energy we use, the less we have to stay focused on what matters.

Do creative work first.
You’ve probably noticed that you’re able to stay more focused at different times of the day.
​Make a list of tasks that need to be done in order of importance and stick to it as much as possible. The less you try to do at once, the better you’ll work overall. 

MeditateMeditation is a sure way to enhance focus because it takes a great deal of concentration.

Try to find a calm placeHave you ever been just about to start another task and find yourself daydreaming just after 10 minutes?

Designate your perfect study spot.
Work offlineIf you can disconnect from the internet, there are fewer things to distract you from the study or work at hand.

Manage your time
Managing your time goes hand in hand with making a to-do list. Next to each item on the list, write about how long it'll take you to accomplish each task. Be realistic about this estimate. Then, try to complete each task within the confines of each time limit. This will make you less likely to slack off or text your friend for an hour instead of actually getting anything done.
       
Take several short Breaks
Choose an activity to do during your breaks. You can set a goal to read for thirty minutes over the course of three hours, for example. Taking a break to rest your eyes from the screen and finish the chapter of a book will make you more motivated to finish your tasks. Don't sit at your desk all day. Get up during some of your breaks. Look out the window, take a short walk outside, or just walk up five flights of stairs to get your blood pumping. These short breaks will make you more energetic to return to work.
