6 tips to help you focus better than a goldfish
1. Sign while listening
If you’re bored during conversations, meetings and lectures go a little drawing. If you make useless drawing little, you’re 30 percent more concentrated. It is a simple activity that blocks other distracting thoughts and make you better listen.
2. Increase your reading speed
It is a misconception that you are recording better by slowly reading the text. If you read slowly, you become distracted. If you just read faster, you have less time to think about other things. But beware: if you read too quickly, you miss information
3.. Forget multitasking
If you try to do several things at once, that does not mean that your brains are more active. Your brains are divided about the tasks that you perform. This gives you less brain activity on each task, so you’re easily distracted and make more mistakes. It helps to put your phone ordinary.
4. Read with a pen
This is an effective technique to read both more concentrated and faster. If you read under the rules moves a pen, you’re focused on that part of the text and will be less distracting. This is in the beginning maybe annoying, but after an hour it can even double your reading speed.
5. Clean out your workplace
Everything is consciously and unconsciously taken to your desk by your brains. The more there is, the more it is scanned, and the sooner you get distracted. With an empty office can be 12 percent more concentrated. Exceptionally creative people do indeed benefit from a cluttered desk and work better.
6. Read in blocks
If you read more than 60 minutes without pause, your comprehension drops by as much as 37 percent. Therefore, you better read after an hour take a short break of 10 minutes
Another little test for concentration:.
Oh, counting Fs. There are there 6. Did you know that in 10 seconds, right?
