The ability to direct one's thinking in whatever
direction one would intend.

When one is in a state of concentration they have
exclusive attention to a specific object.
A state of focus means we rarely lose sight of what
our long and short term goals are. Staying focused
allows us to reach goals that we set for ourselves.

Focusing is generally used to describe a broader
area of desired outcomes.
Concentration is all about thinking about one specific
goal at the present time, and when concentration is
needed it comes with distractions.

To increase or improve concentration levels you should
first try and make yourself more immune to
distractions.

• Control your thoughts
• Practice
• Meditate
There are many ways to stay focused on goals, some
of them are:

• Measure Goals
• Focus on a few things at once
• Visualise
• Write your goals down, and
• Have good reasoning for your goals
• Complete control of your thoughts
• Improved decisions
• Self-Confidence
• Better Memory
• Increase will power

• Keeps you on track
• Increases energy levels
• Lifts your spirits
There is only a few disadvantages of concentrating and
staying on focus, if any.
However over concentrating on a particular object and
missing out on other factors around you is quite common.




Here is a link that might help you understand the concept of
over-concentrating.

Like in the video previously, the main cause of lack of
concentration and focus are distractions.
A distraction is anything that draws the mind away,
or diverts ones attention.
Doodling should be encouraged in boring
meetings, claims psychologist

“It’s not so much that doodling is good for your
concentration, but that daydreaming is bad. If
you are thinking about where you are going to go
on holiday, that is probably going to be more
cognitively demanding than a doodle”
