How to hack your brain for improved focus?



The lack of focus is one of the biggest hurdles to productivity. In theory, it may be true that you are a skilled person, and do your job completely well. But, all will be in vain, if you lack focus. If you can’t focus what you are doing, you might produce sloppy work and fail to do it in time.

At one time or another, we are trapped in the problem of lack of focus. The reasons behind the issues may be many, such as, lack of sleep previous night, self doubt, stress and strain, or it might be a trivial distraction. These prevent us from focusing on the subject we are dealing with. The lack focus is the greatest enemy of productivity.


Separate your task

If you enhance your focus, isolate that matter from others that might virtually distract your attention. You will be amazed to find that how many things of distraction are there.  If you are doing any important work on  PC, close other web browser, or any other programs. Close the planner and turn your phone off. When there is only one thing under your focus, you have no other options but to attend the matter.

Consume food

An empty stomach can’t support your brain,  which requires the proper fuel. Consuming breakfast, lunch, dinner or a healthy snack increase focal point of  the brain on important things. Just be sure that you are not not taking junk food collecting from a vending machine. Eat only wholesome food to nourish your brain and enables it enhance the focus of mind. You can drink tea or coffee to boost your brain power. If you find nothing handy, try chewing gum that mimics the act of chewing food. It helps to enhance the focus.

Make a tighter deadline

The deadlines are always hectic. So fixed a strict deadline yourself. It will act as a counterproductive strategy. The human brain works well under the stress or limitation. So making a tighter deadline is a great way to increase your focus.

Meditate

Sometimes restlessness results in lack of focus. If you are stressed with other worries,  it can interfere with the situation. It can push you out of your focus. The best way to drive out all these worries are practising meditation. Find a place free from the din and bustles, close your eyes, breathe deeply to free your mind from clutter. It may take some time, but effective meditation can reset your mind 
effectively and helps to increase  your focus on any matter.

You will be surprised to find how quickly your focus is getting greater. With a big focus, you will get more and feel better at the end.
