Many of us usually have at least one thing that we know we need to do. And if somehow we managed to sit down and do it from start to finish. Our life would be better because of it. The problem is that people put off that thing, they do anything under the sun to distract themselves.
Being a person who naturally gets distracted easily and was surely one of the worst procrastinators. I can confidently say it’s never too late to make a change. Because if somehow even I managed to find little strategies and create little short cuts to become someone who can concentrate for long periods of time. Then you can too!
#1 Why it’s so important?
First of all, it’s probably not a secret that getting sidetracked nowadays is easier than ever. We are constantly bombarded with ads and online marketing. In fact, according to research, it takes around 15-20 min. to get back to your 100% concentration after getting distracted. Basically, if we cut to the chase – this new distracting digital age creates a huge demand for people who can resist distraction and concentrate.
2#The bar is so lower than you think
If you can dive in even for one hour on your most important thing for the day with a ruthless and intense focus. You will make substantial progress in your life. And as you get used to that hour of concentration. You can upgrade that to 2 or 3 hours. Just think how much intense focus that is. You will skyrocket past your goals!
3# Guilt-free pleasure and balance
I know that many of us want to have a balanced life. We want to achieve something or do something meaningful but still enjoy life. For example, maybe you want to work on your personal projects, but at the same time, you don’t want to give up video games. This was one of the biggest pains I struggled myself. I would play a lot of video games but then at the same time I would feel guilty for not making progress on my personal goals. And it’s funny because the solution is so simple. You can play the crap out of those video games after you put a tremendous amount of focus on something else. This way you don’t feel guilty and can fully immerse yourself into video games.
And if the perks of mastering concentration don’t entice you, you can stop here…
But if it interests you, consider reaching out to me – I’d be happy to answer all of your questions!
