3 Ways to Develop Laser Sharp Focus
If you can manage to keep your head down and focus for prolonged hours, everything is achievable

Focus is the key ingredient to success in anything you do in
life. Whether you’re trying to learn a skill, write a book or even build a
business. If you can manage to keep your head down and focus for prolonged
hours, everything is achievable. Just like everything else, building that focus
is something which takes a lot of practice and patience. But once it’s
developed the productivity level of your work significantly improves which
eventually helps in achieving your goals faster.
To get the most out of your 24 hrs, here are three things which you can practice
each day to strengthen your focus.
Understanding your
work preference
Every one of us is wired differently. Some people are more focused in the
morning while others are more energized at night time. Figuring out your
personal work preference is the key to productivity. If you feel you are more
productive and get more done in the morning, setup a morning routine. If you’re
a night owl, allocate some time each day to work during the night. Studies have
proved that artists who usually work at night tend to be creative in their art,
as there is a sense of serenity and calm at night.
Staying in the
present
Next is staying in the present moment. You all must have
heard the phrase ‘Carpe diem’ which means to focus on the present moment and
not worry about the future. The reason why most of us fail to retain focus on
one task is because we’re always thinking ahead of time. This makes us
overwhelmed with stuff making it hard to focus on the work at hand. Practice
focusing on the task in front of you and pay no mind to the thing which hadn’t
happen yet. You will be surprised to see how staying in the present moment
helps develop a laser sharp focus.
Rewarding yourself
for focus
The reason why most of us fail to retain focus for longer
periods is because of the distractions and cravings to check social media,
listening to the music, watching a YouTube video etc. So before you even begin
to work, make a commitment to reward yourself after finishing the work. After a
good 4, 5 hrs of focused work indulge yourself in the things you love. This
technique will not only allow you to stay focused for longer periods, but it will
also make you more creative. It’s better to indulge in some physical activity
or anything which distracts you during work hours. You can also set limits for
each task using a timesheet application to maintain your focus.
