Tips to Maximize Concentration

1. Clarify Objectives
Know what your goal is clearly before you start. If you aren’t sure what the end result is, the confusion will make it impossible to focus.

4. Eat Light and Healthy. Nothing slows down the mind and body like a big greasy meal. If you run out of energy, keep some healthy snacks on hand to give yourself a quick boost.

5. Exercise. The body has pent up energy that needs to be used. Exercise first thing in the morning. This will clear your head & allow your body to sweat out impurities. Afterwards you’ll feel rejuventated, cleansed, and ready to take on tough problems.

7.The Two Minute Mind : Simply stare at the second hand on your wristwatch for two minutes and think about nothing else for that time. At first your mind will wander but after 21 days of practice, your attention will not waver during the routine.

8. Read a passage in a book you have never explored. Then try to recite it word for word. Practice this for only 5 minutes a day and enjoy the results which follow after a few months of effort.

9 You can also build your will-power by restraint in your conduct with others. Speak less (use the 60/40 Rule = listen 60% of the time and speak a mere 40%, if that).

10 Unclutter your mind by writing down :
write down any concern you might be having on a piece of paper, next to it write down a date or time when you want to deal with this problem. Writing it down this way will help in uncluttering your mind so that it is free to concentrate on the task at hand.
