Why You Can't FOCUS - And How To Fix That

In today's world, being able to focus is almost like a superpower.
You rarely see anyone who's able to concentrate on a single task for hours.
And the individuals who are able to focus, to nobody's surprise, get so much more done than other people.
There are many areas where you could benefit from better concentration. Whether it's for school, studying, work or a hobby. If you're able to focus you can get your desired results faster.
So today I'll explain what's holding you back from focusing and what you can do to improve it.

    As a BONUS TIP, I would like to recommend: Setting an alarm for 60-90 minutes before your designated sleep time to create a "Pre-Sleep Ritual" where you disconnect from all your tech devices (no screen time and set phone on flight mode, and dim the house lights). Do things like brush your teeth, organise your desk, wash dishes, journal down your ideas (download your day onto paper), read your book. That way you will program your mind to calm down with sufficient timing which will allow you to have a higher quality sleep and you will feel incredible and super focused the next day. When you wake up, implement a similar (tech free) Post-Sleep Ritual to start your morning fresh without bombarding your mind with the outside World's distractions wasting your attention units. Keep those habits implemented long enough and there will be no limit to what you can achieve with your new found hyper focus! I hope this serves you well and if you've read this far, I wish you all the best on your journey of personal development and sending much love from Western Australia :)

    To improve focus 1. Avoid distractions 2. Sleep 7-9 hrs 3. Keep Hydrated 4. Eat Healthy 5. Exercise To build focus 1. Do a task in the morning 2. Recharge your brain (nap, walk, etc.) Pomodoro Technique 1. Do a task without distractions in a period of time (i.e. 20mins, 30mins) 2. After that take a break for a period of time (shorter than task mode) 3. Repeat it for 4-5 times (Task->break->task...) 4. Then take a break longer than task mode. 5. Back again if you want more. Remember: Focus is like a muscle it need train, recovery and care.

    Yes. Your comment reminds me of when I had no internet for a month due to a company account error. I looked around me all of a sudden, and there was suddenly a world all around me. My eyes peered and focued into all these different directions rather than just that one, called "down but slightly hunched over." I admit, doing everything around me still consisted of difficulty, just it did before when compared to the ease of the touchscreen, but all and all, I AM living better now. A better lifestyle having those options that I never allowed myself to open up to before. 😊

    i've always hated the pomodoro thing, because every single video i watch about it tells me to set up a timer, but i eventually check the timer every minute because of anxiety and when the time was getting closer to the end, I couldn't focus on anything but the clock. So I tried something different: when I'm studying, I set the goals for each book chapter, videoclass or question set. I am more likely to study from videos, so I focus my time in one 30 min video or something about that, than take my water break. I breath deeply through my window looking at the sky, play with my dog, eat a fruit or anything, then go back to my desk. I found I work better without time settings and adapted this to my routine.

    Speaking from my own experience, Exercising is the root cause of staying focused. How? Well, I couldn't sleep at night before which had a result of being tired throughout the day cause of sleeping less than 7 hours. So how exactly I can sleep now is because of exercise that makes me feel sleepy and get me proper 7-8 hours of sleep which ultimately helped me to stay focused throughout the day. And honestly, UNHEALTHY FOOD DOES MAKE YOU FEEL SLEEPY!! Trust me or not, Try having junk food for a day then try to focus and have healthy food the other day and then focus, You will notice the difference by yourself. I hope y'all decide what's best for you. All the best peeps.

    I'd argue there's many ways to help stay focused state, and that exercising is just one of them. I'm no expect, but I'd say any activity that's "all encompassing" of your attention may help you "be" in a focused state. However, vigorous exercise that physically tires on a regular definitely is hugely helpful in regulating sleep / hormones / mood / etc, and contribute overall to "being more focused in general".

    1. Avoid distractions 2. Fulfill your basic needs, fulfill them the proper way. 3. You can train your concentration like a muscle. 4. Have a time set for every day for that concentration training to keep it sharp. 5. After concentrating for a longer period of time, give your brain a break, meaning don't do anything that uses your brain too heavily.

    FOCUS 2 TYPES: a. SCATTERED -broadly distributed attention / multitasking -trying to focus about one thing while thinking about another -YOUR BRAIN IS EXTREMELY BAD AT SWITCHING TO MULTIPLE THINGS AT A TIME b. DIRECTED -focusing on one thing & ignoring everything else -how high achievers direct their focus HOW TO AVOID SCATTERED FOCUS? -aim to remove all distractions and avoid any stimuli that could potentially harm your concentration. PHONE = biggest anti-focus machine FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT FOCUS: 1.

Tips- tell your mother to do not call me for meal while i am doing my business Tell your siblings or nephews to do not desturb, tell your friends that do not call me or send any other messages or invite me in any party. Last but list: while doing your schedule or any other business just focused , just stay tuned and chill Believe in your self say that you can do it ,......eat mentos and Start your Journey becuz life is not short .......

    That's actually a great way to keep yourself focussed, as I understand it. It's called fidgetting, look it up, if you want. The theory is that your brain has too much capacity to just focus on one thing, so it's always searching for more stimuli. By playing with a water bottle, pen or something else, you make sure your brain is already fully occupied; this helps you to fully focus on the video, in this case.

    Love yourself instead! We are all different, find what works for you. Be you and love that person, because that's the most important relationship in your life. Take one step at a time and reward yourself. Build up some confidence step-by-step and it will get better and better. Also, maybe you could reflect on what changed since high school. Maybe you have more responsibilities now, you are in the process of adjusting to a new situation, finding yourself again? It is not making excuses, it's forgiving and moving on. Focus on what you can do, how far you have come so far, just move on from seeing the negative about yourself and start noticing all the positive stuff. Wish you all the best!

    Yes! Any time we believe that we are multitasking, or running processes in parallel, but that's not true. Every task requires 'booting' up a set of rules or context. Switching tasks means booting up a different set of rules. This is as time consuming as being interrupted while focusing. They say it takes up 15 minutes to get back into what you're doing. Multi-tasking is like working with people who interrupt you every half hour, but i's self-suffering. Great video

    I’m a night owl. My best time to focus is the couple hours right before bed. I know I only have a small amount of time to get tasks done before I need to sleep and that keeps me on track. Plus there are less people working at this time who are likely to distract me with conversation

    valuable tips, the easiest way to start applying that is to to choose one new action and start applying it, till turning it to new habit then adding more good habits to improve focus

    Great video. Happy you mentioned Pomodoro, I was going to mention it, because I was not aligned when you said focus for hours... Also, 2 others things: 1) sleep, 7 to 9 is arbitrary, some people need a bit less and some more... also depends on cycles, usually I have some better nights than others, it's natural. 2) I am also a Morning person for focus and concentration, but I know some people are unable in the morning and can perform better at evenings... Lots of good recommendations in your video, just wanted to add a little filter ;-)

    The only thing I have been doing wrong while practicing this method (i.e. pomodoro technique) stimulating my brain in my breaks, I have regained my motivation by finding out my mistake and will start practicing this technique properly. Thank you for your help Mr Better than yesterday

    Watching this was so easy and engaging because of how beneficial the information you provide is. At the end it did not seem like a long video at all.

    Fantastic video, I shared it on my coaching Facebook page. A comment: I can focus better and for a longer period of time when I put some music on or even listen to an audiobook. I use this method when I sew, knit, draw, paint, or tidy up and organise my stuff. I don't think I could listen to an audiobook or watch a movie and write an article at the same time :) By the way, I use the 45 minutes focus time and 10-15 minutes rest as well, it's a familiar pattern that I learnt at school in Poland (ages ago 🙂 )
