How many cones of attention do we have available to provide to tasks on a given day or in a single moment? And how can the dilation of time between sleep and blinking be related -- do we take microsleeps when we blink?

Oya I definitely have a bit of ADHD which is weird because I was an extremely focused child. I can still focus on things I enjoy really well but I can't seem to focus on my school work. Big fan.... inhale sniff exhale, inhale sniff exhale, inhale sniff exhale. Focused... or emotions under control at least.

SUMMARY: * mental focus is linked to visual focus * focus for 60-120 seconds on a very small region in front of you, e.g. a window on your screen * the finer the visual image, and the more you can focus on it, the better your mental focus will be * to focus auditory attention, close your eyes * the typical learning bout should be 90 minutes (ultradian cycle chart @ 18:37) * put the phone out of sight * use your alert hours for useful activities, not for scrolling social media or watching TV The rest of the video is interesting, but less actionable, except for what not to do: * Adderall doesn't improve focus, it improves alertness * people have given themselves ADHD by using smartphones and watching videos instead of reading

I totally needed to hear the part when he says " Don't give up that period of time (when you're most alert) for things that are meaningless, useless or not aligned with your goals." That makes so much sense for me when it comes to focus while working remotely. Thank you Dr. Huberman and After Skool. Shout out to the awesome Lefty Artist of this channel!

@@josephwirtz8352 LOL!! Have you heard of Internal Family Systems?? You might find it very interesting.......

One of the most powerful tips I ever read which I employ regularly: when starting a new project, write the words "THIS IS FOCUS" in very large letters at the top of the page. Continue to write it, cascading down the page, making the letters smaller and smaller until you can't write them any longer. Exactly the same principle.

"Your attention is your most valuable asset. Dont waste it on things that are not aligned with your goals". Yes, definitely. Your attention is the most valuable thing to others as well. If they can convince you that your goals are aligned with giving them all your attention, then that seems rational and is what we will do. Salespeople call it "Closing the deal".

I love that they actually made us focus by putting the target on the screen to see, live, how visual focus for 40 secs will help you

I always enjoy listening to Andrew Huberman! He is very skilled at explaining concepts in an easily digestible yet mentally stimulating fashion

Reading for about 30 minutes (in the morning) of some historical or philosophical texts helps me to stay focused throughout a day. And I am structural engineer. I learned about it about a year ago and assumed that it is just "repeating coincidence"! 😅

Thankful for this channel & community. Hope everyone has a great day

This came at the perfect time for me as I know I’ve been distracted for some time and am ready to live a more intentional life. Thank you 🙏🏽

Mr. Huberman and After Skool are the best combo ever! Best thing in the morning!!!

Dr.Andrew has helped me so much since I discovered him precovid. Was delighted to see this collab.

9:40 This is absolutely true. I actually turn my ear toward the person I'm listening to. It does wonders for focusing on speech.

Thank you! When I really need to comprehend, I will close my eyes and just sit and listen. This allows me to visualize the words being spoken. I catch a lot of flack because others think I’m not paying attention. As far as my phone, I will turn it off and lock it up to give myself a break. This has been great information!

The visual focus practice feels very similar to my favourite way of entering a focused mindset, which is a counting breaths meditation where you count each in and out breath while remaining aware of the movements of your breath in the body. You check in with your brain frequently to be aware of what your attention is on, if it’s wandered from your breath then you restart the count. From doing this I start at not being able to focus on it for even 3 seconds and get to 30seconds or longer and afterward focussing on something is so much easier. I believe becoming relaxed is also tied to improved focus (just not too relaxed too the point of sleepiness). ❤

Great technique!

Hunting is what helped me train my focus for long periods of time, I will say though, that long periods of intense focus will tire you out more than anything!

Humans, animals, living things are amazing and scary at the same time. Thank you for this very real and precise video!

Thank you so much for these videos 🙏 I really enjoy them. The visuals help me process what is being said much better than without them.

Thank you doctor. All I was looking for to get focus, you served in 20 min. Genious animation made me focus better on the video. Also I learned to rest in between and not force to be focused all day.

Thank you very much. I have noticed that some of my routine already incorporated some of your advice, like meditating and staring at a point. But now I know THE WHY.

Thank you so much for all the information and taking your time to explain them. May Gid richly bless you and your family

I consistently double back to this video, it is the best compact resource of all the facts you need to make a change

Again You and dr Andrew maid a huge impact on me can't be enough gratfull for you both

This was informative. I've always had a strong sense of focus. I remember as I kid I could focus on something so intently, without blinking my mom would think it was creepy and would break my attention. I think I had a problem with focusing too much, I wouldn't sleep, eat or use the bathroom if I was focused on a project, work, homework assignments, or learning a new skill. However, over-focusing can make it hard for you to see the bigger picture or like me, neglect my basic needs. I would get burnt out, overwhelmed and exhausted yet, I won't take breaks which led to other issues as well. I had to learn to take breaks in between which was hard but, once I saw how I was able to perform even better when I gave myself time to breathe, I had to enforce them to have a better balance in my life.

As someone who severely struggles with adhd thank you for this video hard to find good actionable steps to scientifically improve attention and focus

Note to self: RULE: Mental focus follows visual 1.Behavioral practices are the best for enhancing focus & concentration. 2. Mental focus is anchored to our gaze's direction, thus focused gaze can stimulate mental concentration 3. Less often blinking might help to concentrate better. 4. If studying via audio sources, closed eyes are OK. (closed eyes = ↓distraction, ↑auditory attention, e.g. blind people, musicians) 5. Smartphone is an machine designed to grab & hold your attention for as long as possible, be aware 6. Motion pictures are good for entertainment, not for focus & deep learning 7. The more challenging the information source the better it is for the focus training (books vs simplified insta reel) 8. Focus for transformation rather than information (long lasting & boring sessions of deep work will give you more) 9. 90 min bouts of learning/work with 5-10 min warm-up, ~60 min of pure concentration and 10-20 min of loose focus peaks should work 10. Eliminate distractions prior to your working/learning bout 11. Don't be scared of attention drifts, just return and re-anchor your attention to the task, like muscles this "mental muscle of re-anchoring" can be trained 12. We have only 24 hours each day, so know when you are the most alert to enhance your efforts (usually, during early parts of the day people are more alert) 13. Hydrate your body, have a good night sleep (around 8h), use appropriate sources & amounts of caffeine 14. All day focus is an impossible task for most of us, use 90 min focus (ultradian) cycles during the day and reserve some time for other deliberate disengagement activities (physical exercises, social interactions etc.) 15. Like any skill attention can be learned & perfected, just keep going Thanks for sharing this content with us for absolute zero-cost, you are amazing human begins!

Amazing summary, thanks for sharing!

Again wanted to add, SUCH a brilliant lesson on all things attention. Thanks Andrew!

such a powerful knowledge

Wow! Thank you for the information. When I hear people speak to me I have to be close so I can hear their words and focus on what they are saying. It takes a lot of concentration, and if course losing hearing is challenging. On top of this trying to learn another language, and understand what is being said. I get so tired at the end of the day, I quickly fall asleep.

This was great. I really resonate with the 90 minute performance cycles. Good advice. Several creative projects to get on to, so this gives me a solid way to go about it. Cheers!

Huberman is a gift to this world

I think I agree with the point of this video 100% - I used to be so fukn active, did so much with my time but I got hurt and it slowed me down... and along the way I stopped doing anything and now I almost can't start at all!!! It is really troubling but I will admit there is also something attractive about just sitting back and constantly reading, watching some mindless videos but mostly videos on how this works, how to do that, etc... instructional and informative stuff so worth my time??? I am better now after years (years!) of tough going but just can't seem to get motivated for anything yet i still love learning and reading...

Thank you, what an amazing collab this was. Props to the awesome artist. I totally lost focus when an ad popped up lol. Appreciate the information.

This makes a lot of sense because I’ve always been able to focus well & have also had a problem with not blinking enough. My eyes get dry because of it.

I really appreciate this video. A place where you can find unbiased indispensable information that makes sense.

Incredible content and presentation, Thank you

thank you, this was so good and needed. I enjoyed the videos and the takeaways from this video are so interesting that I want to apply them right away. So innovative and appropriate

Thank you for releasing these extraordinary videos.

Thank you for this video!

Thanks for sharing information that is more essential to each of us than all the politics, entertainment and social challenges we are flooded and confronted with everyday in a easy to understand way. Great content!

Yeah when i get distracted by the visuals of this video, i looked away to focus on the audio bc it's what i want to focus on. So cool that it also talked about it as i was doing it!

I love that they actually made us focus by putting the target on the screen to see

Thanks SO MUCH for your knowledge and time for Us 😃!!!

I need to bookmark this and watch it again! Really helpful, thank you

Bless up for this episode 🙏🏽

This is as usual a fantastic learning! Very applicable with tons of visuals only helping to reinforce the content in the video. Thank you for all your videos and podcasts!

and thats why i can watch these videos forever because they high contrast and dynamic

Thank you! Your videos have brought me so much further in life…

These videos have changed my life. Thankyou

Amazing that our ancient Indian practice of Trataka advocates exactly the same. Thanks for putting this out there SO scientifically.

Love the animations. Holds my attention and helps me absorb the info. Thank you

I used to use the visual focus training while meditating, however instead of actually focusing on something you can visually see it was an object I'd create in my mind with eyes closed. It's crazy when you see how little control you have over yourself when you begin the battle of self control over constant stimulation. It's well worth it though to actually overcome yourself for an entire day without temptation leading you back to distraction.

Thank you for your valuable advice.

Thank you Huberman, content was great very informative.

thank you Huberman i alaways watch your videos to lear and grow as well as to improve my english. actually i am from Uzbekistan. bunch of "hello"s from uzbekistan

Live healthy, and do something you love to do (turn hobby into job). Best wishes everybody 😊

Passive observance of life!! Happy time. Is relaxing. Calming.!!!

Thank you so much for this.

This was very useful thank you. Typically the videos I see on this subject (self-improvement or focus) are regurtitated information but this was actually quite informative. It feels like a real thing that can be trained and improved upon and it's not just typical scheduling or sleeping advice.

Thank you - this presentation was inspiring😊

Watching the video more and more, taught me to focus more on the video.

Thank you guys. You have helped me change my life ❤

So nice to hear some advice about focus that isn't the same thing I've heard vomited up by every other article

Thank you for these gems.

After skool is always helpful in everything...🙌🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤

This is incredible! I use three screens at work and at times I absolutely cannot focus on my work no matter how hard I try. I am going to start using just one screen when possible

Fascinating, thank you so much!

I close my eyes when I share deeper thoughts. I have aphantasia from birth and so I make the outside the inside (veiled, a curtain which translates the images I know exist into ideation and conception), which helps me to allow my unconscious mind to more easily bridge the gap to the conscious. I rarely actively think ahead, like even as I write this. My conscious mind isn't controlling the flow of what I'm writing, it's just perceiving it and fixing grammatical or spelling errors as I'm writing, acting as the analyzer which provides for the subconscious to flow along the course I'm trying to project. It's a really weird state of consciousness and I figured it out independently by questioning my experience, then found aphantasia when it was still fairly obscure in 2013-2015 or so.

INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!

Beautiful stuff guys. As someone who holds a podcast for helping aspiring entrepreneurs, it’s definitely a challenge having to build a platform and work my way around the attention span disorder happening in society. Nonetheless, the work you guys are doing is so important for bringing awareness to what really matters in life. Much love 🤲🏽🌱

This info is worth more than years worth of working with the wrong therapists. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed the information. ❤️🎶

Thankyou Sir for this valuable information. ⭐

Amazing how well this worked for me. Seemed to really come together via visual focus. Totally underestimated the eyes being the portal to the brain. Makes total sense. Thank you @hubermanlab

thank you . great video.

Thanks a lot for this video. I'll use these new tips in my daily work !

Thank you. This video IS very informative 👍

Thanks for the valuable information.

So useful! I'm definitely going to implement many of the thing's mentioned in this video.

This is very useful. Now I understand why I'm having such a hard time reading books for the past decade. I have been watching more and more movies and KZread videos, so whenever I attempt to read a book, I get restless and give up within an hour. I will try that 40 seconds focus thing and see if that helps to continue reading.

Loved It!! thank you

Thank you.🤝🤝

KZread is so so good at leveraging this. Why can you skip it in 5 seconds? Because that's all they need. If your focusing, and that pops in when you don't anticipate it, and it burns a hole in your brain. Literally started typing this after a commercial because I lost focus and feel that image from the commercial burned in my eyeballs and creating agitation, not learning. Should be common knowledge that this is bad for everyone.

"Attention can be learned" and yes, I'm actually re-learning it. After years of scrolling, which began way before my first smartphone, with forums and newsreaders, I feel my attention span and ability to focus and to learn have been shattered. Thanks for sharing these resources!

Thank you Spirit, and thank you, my friend 🙏🏽💐🔥🕯💡

I. needed. this. I feel like my attention is everywhere. I have so many tabs open. And the things I want to do, I feel defeated around and can't get done. Really need to limit the passive experiences.

Amazing! Thanks so much!

Well that's cheered me up! Nice to be getting something right for a change.

This came at the right time

thank you very much

Thanks a lot for this valuable information.

Very interesting talk. I never considered the differences between alertness and focus. Going to have to try some of these principles.

Hey! Just watching a 20 minute KZread video on focus is a great first step! Well played After Skool! lol I love this channel so much!

This all makes a lot of sense. I can focus on something and listen while i work on things. But once you add movement to it my focus is gone. Unless it's like a movie I've seen many times so its background noise. This video was very "eye opening". I'm 100% gonna sub

This is actually super helpful! Thank you!
