Enhance Focus

Focus Enhancement Toolkit

We've all been at our desks with a deadline looming and our minds wandering. Things are not progressing despite your best efforts. It's essential to stay focused on what you're supposed to be doing. Your motivation is strong. However, you are unable to remain focused.

Everyone wants to know how to focus better and how to concentrate since the inability to concentrate is one of the biggest problems of our time. We live in a world of constant stimulation and distraction, and our attention is pulled in multiple directions. Because of this, improving concentration, attention, awareness and focus is an issue Bader feels is worth addressing.

What is concentration?

Concentration means control of attention. It is the ability to direct one's attention, follow one's will, focus the mind on one subject, object, or thought, and at the same time exclude every other unrelated thought, idea, feeling, and sensation from the mind.

For the majority of us, that last phase is the most difficult. Focusing means ignoring or excluding all other irrelevant thoughts, ideas, feelings, or sensations. To ignore the numbers, alarms, and other signals that indicate we have new messages, updates, "likes," or followers!

Constant interruptions reduce productivity. The task takes longer to complete. We are not as attentive. With our partners or coworkers, we don't grasp things well, leading to misunderstanding, misinterpretation, and conflict. Memory is impacted. Our personal lives and professional reputation are impacted when we forget things or have trouble recalling knowledge quickly.

This is why at Bader we are here to support you in enhancing your ability to focus, as this will improve your career, your impact, your relationship and your ability to be present and enjoy the heck out of life. So take your Focus supplement and implement these tools to enhance your natural state of being.

1. ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS.

With so much information being bombarded at us, how can we focus better?

The Key to this is to block off time in your schedule for specific tasks or activities. During this time, request that you be left alone or go to a place where others cannot disturb you: a library, a coffee shop, or a private room. Keep your phone hidden from sight in a bag or backpack, close social media apps, and silence notifications. Studies have shown that cognitive capacity improves when the phone is out of sight, not just turned off. Keep your primary focus on completing what you need to do. It is possible to concentrate better if both internal and external disturbances are shut off.

2. CURATE A STATE OF FOCUS.

Curating focus involves actively choosing what to pay attention to and what to ignore in order to prioritize what is most important. This can help increase productivity and reduce distractions. Some strategies for curating focus include setting goals, clearing your space, and using the pomodoro technique to manage time effectively. Sound also plays a big part in curating focus. According to a 2017 study 40 Hz binaural beat is the most beneficial for enhancing focus and improving cognition.

Try this 40Hz binaural beat next time you want to drop into a deep session of intentional work. Take your focus supplement, set an intention, do a round of Bader Breath and put on this youtube track to drop into a Focus Flow State.

3. PRACTICE MINDFULNESS TO ENHANCE FOCUS.

You can improve your wellbeing, mental fitness, and focus by practicing mindfulness or meditation. As we meditate, our brain becomes calmer, and our whole body becomes more relaxed. To avoid being distracted by our minds, we focus on our breath throughout the process. When we practice using our breath to bring our attention back to a task, even if we get interrupted, we essentall hone the skill that is our ability to focus.

Try these Meditations for 5 -13 minutes daily to increase focus and mental stamina.

4. DON'T MULTITASK.

When we perform multiple tasks simultaneously, we feel productive, yet this isn't the case. As a result, you'll be less focused, concentrated, and productive. Burnout can result from low productivity. Listening to a podcast while responding to an email or speaking to someone over the phone while writing a report are examples of multitasking. When you multitask, you not only lose focus but compromise the quality of your work as well.

5. GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK.

Similarly, when you focus on something for a long time, your focus may begin to wane. It may become increasingly difficult for you to devote your full attention to the task. According to researchers, our brains tend to ignore sources of constant stimulation, with the ideal time for intentional work being 90 mins. When you feel stuck while working on a project, take a break. Consider moving around, talking to someone, or switching tasks. Keeping your performance high will be easier with a more focused mind.

7. DELIBERATE COLD EXPOSURE SHARPENS THE MIND.

Exposure to cold temperatures can improve focus by activating the sympathetic nervous system and increasing the production of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate attention and focus. In addition, deliberately seeking out cold exposure, such as through cold showers or ice baths, can provide an additional mental boost by requiring the individual to confront and tolerate discomfort, potentially leading to increased mental toughness and resilience.

8. GET IN TOUCH WITH NATURE.

Plants in office spaces have been found to enhance concentration, productivity, workplace satisfaction, and air quality. These include plants rosemary and lavender. In addition, you can boost your concentration and feel refreshed by going for a walk in the park or appreciating the plants and flowers in your garden.
