How to Improve Your Attention Concentration

“Focus now .”

Practice saying this to yourself every time you notice your attention wandering while you are doing work. At first, you will have to say this to yourself quite frequently, maybe even several times per minute. Gradually, this will occur less often. Every day you will see more improvement if you are consistent with correcting yourself using the “focus now” statements. This technique trains your brain to focus.

Allow yourself to have a specific time for thinking and worrying.

Set aside a specific time each day to spend thinking about the thoughts that keep entering your mind and interrupting your focus while you are trying to concentrate in class and while reading and/or studying. Then, when the thoughts that take your focus away from where it needs to occur, remind yourself that you have a specific time set aside for those topics. Having a time set aside for worry will significantly improve your focus and concentration.

Stretch and get active.

Don’t just stay in your seat and talk if there is a break. When you take a break, get up and walk around. This gets more oxygen to your brain to help you focus more efficiently

Notice the little things. Develop an eye for detail. This teaches you how to focus and makes you happier. Target things that are fun and provide positive reinforcement

These techniques usually begin to work in a few days, but their maximum benefits will be seen when  you practice it daily
