“Before focus, concentration; before concentration, selection.”
This Habits 2 Goals episode is FREE for ALL subscribers.
To focus for an extended period of time on anything can be challenging.
In today’s world, it’s made far more difficult, particularly for people with ADD/ADHD.
This episode promises to have you focusing better nearly instantly.
Below are some tips on how to focus better, especially if you suffer from ADD/ADHD.
First, a background story.
The Habit Factor® (book and app) only exist because of my inability to achieve goals.
I wasn’t aware of it at the time, but what I created was a goal achievement system that forced me to address my first fundamental challenge, FOCUS.
FOCUS: Defined
The center of interest or activity. “this generation has made the environment a focus of attention”
An act of concentrating interest or activity on something. “our focus on the customer's requirements”
By creating THIS tracking sheet (which is free btw ), I was forced to identify which core, related behaviors - habits - I wanted to develop.
The simple act of choosing the behaviors/habits I wanted to develop was the first key.
STEP ONE:
Ask yourself which 1 to 3 core behaviors/habits are you trying to develop.
By asking that question, focus instantly improves because your options diminish.
Thus, selection is the first step to improved focus.
Just try to imagine a sharpshooter without a defined target.
Now, take a look at that next definition of focus (above): “…the act of concentrating interest or activity…”
That is the next key: Concentration.
Concentration is defined as “the close gathering of people or things.”
STEP TWO:
Gather as much energy and resources as you can before you try to focus.
Example:
To focus on writing, I might gather resources like...
A special application.
Books or reference material
A timer.
To gather energy and resources is to concentrate.
For instance, sometimes I’ll use a writing app called “Write Room,” which employs a black screen.
Or, sometimes, I’ll use Brain.fm, which uses an enhanced form of binaural beats to improve concentration.
Often, I’ll use a stopwatch, which helps me gauge whether I’ve achieved my “Minimum Success Criteria” (an aspect of the P.A.R.R. methodology) – which is the minimum amount of time that I set out to write.
These are examples of gathering energy and resources before attempting to focus.
The other key idea to concentrate better is to design a conducive environment.
This could be as simple as a distraction-free room.
The key idea; put some time and energy into designing a conducive environment before trying to focus.
THE ORDER OF FOCUS:
Step one: Selection → Step Two: Concentration → Step Three: Focus.
Finally, to ensure that what you intend to focus on actually happens, TRACKING! (“Said & Done”) the behavior/work is essential!
Enjoy the show!
