4 hacks to bid goodbye to distractions and achieve focus
If I ask you today about how much and how long can you focus on something? Can you also do it for long hours?
The answer might vary from person to person but something that is undeniable is the multitasking that we as a generation are obsessed of doing without really caring about the results.
Does multitasking help in the long run or is it just a trap in the name of doing way too much work than otherwise?
Let us find out below:
- Recognizing heating Desires: In this world today surrounded by social media, internet validation and what not, it is actually difficult to retain attention. We look at something and instantly the desire heats up most of times in the fear of missing out. This one distraction is so important to recognize, work and focus towards. Recognize and cut down the presence of people, things and events which you think shift your focus from what you have planned vigorously. It’s not bad to have desires but not at the cost of your time and goals.
- Make a to-do list: It is often overlooked but trust me if a to do list is made every night, it is going to spark you up every time you strike off something from the charts. It lets you focus on one task at a time and when it is done, you get a sense of validation of the segregation of tasks you planned. Therefore, you achieve focus day by day leading to a schedule where you can spend equal attention to work, entertainment, relationships, money etc eliminating multitasking that doesn’t really lead you somewhere.
- Take care of your body: It is so necessary that we take care of our body by fueling it with the right nutrients just like a car needs diesel at regular intervals. If you just keep on working and try to achieve focus, it won’t be possible as the body needs energy to level up lacking which you might become more annoyed or anxious. To feel better, you can opt to go for regular walks, sleep well, pamper yourself, spend some time alone. It rejuvenates your body and mind and make your goals clear. The aim is being healthy which is underrated yet so important to simply get better physically which in turn strengthens you mentally. Conclusively, focus builds more by being healthy.
- Learn to say ‘NO’: Everybody around us today is particularly promoting multitasking and take pride in it. But do you think landing on a journey to lose weight and feeding yourself junk is simultaneously possible? Or for that matter, being on an investment journey with your money and spending almost all that you make? While focusing on something, learn to say no to the absolute opposites of it. For making a point to be focused, eliminate all the distractions that even give you a chance to peep out of the task you have assigned yourself.
Bruce lee has rightly said, 'The successful warrior is the average man, with laser like focus.'
All the successful people have been ordinary in the beginning, it is the focus that has led to epitome to success they are standing on. Just focus on one thing and see what wonders can it bring to your space and life as a whole.
