Focus, Focus, Focus
Keeping your focus and sticking to the plan does not come easy to some but are natural to others. For those who are finding it a hard time to focus, here’s a couple of Ts, I hope this will work for you. But do remember that each one of us is unique and what may work for me might not work for you so do try to find your own groove.
It helps to consider being focused as a habit, be consistent and do it regularly, as they say, 21 days to make it a habit.
Resist everything else that is not related to whatever you are focusing on, try to distance yourself or control yourself.
Do not be distracted so easily, this is a mental challenge, condition your mind. Although, having a little distraction now and then or in-between will always help sharpen and restore your drained batteries, but be wary and stick to the time.
Set aside enough time in-between and stick to it, use it wisely and do not stray from the schedule.
Sometimes you just feel drained, lost or out of steam, try and set aside a short routine related to what you are focusing on. The routine should be easy and must follow steps that does not take too much time. This helps keep you on track and distracts you while still being productive.
If you are in-front of the monitor, you must blink always to wet your eyes and have a 5 minute break every 2 hours and look at something green which is atleast 10 meters aways, this helps keep you from being near sighted and keeps your eyes from drying up which will ultimately help maintain your 20/20 vision.
if you are in one position for most of the time, for example sitting, stretch out every so often, check out stationary or sitting exercises. This helps distracts you while keeping you healthy.
Drink lots of liquids, water is advisable. This is good for your health, The frequent trips to the toilet will help clean your system, loose a little weight as your body does not need to retain a lot of water because you always take in more and the walk to the loo can actually be considered exercise. BTW, I said liquids not food, eat only on the right time and eat the right food.
These are just some which might work for some and not for others. Do try to find your own rythm to things, the important thing is you are focused and that you achieve your objective while learning, having fun and being satisfied.
