Nowadays I can study, work and exercise on schedule without any problems everyday, and I do it all by myself. This has become something as simple as pouring a cup of tea for me now, I have absolutely no qualms about doing it every day, I could even say that I like it. However I was not always like this, lack of concentration was a big problem which I used to have and back a few years ago I found it hard to even sit still let allow sit down and concentrate on work. I have learned to overcome all of this though, with the help of my friends, studying on the internet and practice I have come to embrace motivation and concentration. I have even compiled some tips which can help people who can’t concentrate.
The first thing I suggest to anyone who needs to get work done is to switch their surroundings periodically. I used to always have problems focusing after the first two hours of study, but I found that moving to a different environment like a library or park would bring back my focus very quickly. I think this should work well for most people.
My second tip- If you are having problems motivating yourself to get started why not listen to some music which inspires you. For some people this may be pop, for others classic, I I like metal and it really motivates me to get going and start working. For those who aren’t into music a inspirational video can also do the trick. Go to Youtube and find something you like, I like UFC training videos or Rocky training montages.
The third thing which I recommend people to go out and do is to time themselves. Get a stopwatch and time yourself to focus on the work at hand for an hour straight, during this hour do nothing else. I find that using this method I can really improve my efficiency and concentration. Another great tip I learned over the years.
My fourth tip- Get rid of distractions. Find out what your main distraction is (probably TV or the Internet) and get away from it. This is often easier said than done though, because today so much is done on the internet. I like to open up the internet pages which I will need and then turn off the internet without turning off the computer, it keeps me in line.
These tips will work anywhere, even in the kitchen when you are doing a boring job like cleaning an over the sink dish drainer or some dirty stainless steel dish drainer.
