Maintaining focus and concentration when studying something, reading, or doing important things is something that is easy and difficult to do. This is because it requires practice, atmosphere and a supportive environment.
For this reason, Beautynesia has collected six ways to increase your focus that you can apply when studying or working. Listen up, Beauties!
1. Eliminate Distractions

Reporting from BetterUp, of course you need to avoid distractions. For example, stay away from noisy areas, don’t join in chatting when your work or college friends are chatting about things outside of your course or job.
2. Avoid Multitasking

Doing many tasks at one time can make you feel productive. However, this can reduce your focus and concentration. So you don’t know which one to prioritize first. So, it’s better if you make a priority scale first and then solve them one by one.
3. Listening to Music

Try listening to music that can improve your focus, namely instrumental music that has no lyrics, or the lyrics are in a foreign language so that you are not influenced to listen to the lyrics or sing along.
You can choose classical music or natural sounds such as the sound of waterfalls, rain and birds singing to help you concentrate better on doing something.
4. Create a comfortable work space

Look for a special room that is far from noise and the atmosphere is definitely calm and suitable for working. Design the room as comfortable as possible. Clean and tidy the table and furniture in it, and make sure the room is always cool and makes you feel comfortable working there all day.
5. Use a Timer

Train your brain to work with deadlines, namely by setting how many minutes you need to complete a job. Then, concentrate on just doing the task. This technique is believed to be effective in increasing your concentration and speed at work.
6. Avoid cellphone notifications

Quoting Medical News Today, notifications on your cellphone that come from chat applications or social media can distract you and break your concentration. Therefore, it would be a good idea if you turn off your cellphone for a moment until your task is finished, set it to “silent” mode, or store it in a place that is far from your reach for a while.
