Do you find yourself studying the same page for fifteen minutes? Are you thinking of a TV show while doing your homework? If so, you may have a concentration problem.
Concentration is the ability to focus on a task at hand without being interrupted (打断) by other things. It can be of great benefit to us，but we don't always use it fully. Sounds, images, and unrelated thoughts are like heavy rocks in the road. When you move them away, your concentration can go on.
Luckily, concentration can be improved through training. Start by creating a space that's quiet and comfortable. Remove distractions such as TV or online chat programmes. For fewer interruptions, have everything you need at your desk. After a while, you can focus on your work easily.
Here are some other ways for you to have a try.
Do five more minutes. When you think you can't work anymore, just do five more minutes. You can stretch your attention span by pushing your limits a little bit at a time.
One “Think” a time. Stop juggling lots of things in your hand. Instead, set a time for thinking about a single task. For example, tell yourself, “I'll think about nothing but my task from 5:00 to 5:30.”
Do things immediately. Sometimes we don't feel like concentrating, so we put off work. Just ask yourself, “Will it get easier later?” and then you'll probably want to get it over with.
Use your hands as blinkers. Try keying things “out of sight, out of mind”. Cup your hands and focus only on what you are reading.
See as if for the first time. Look at each moment like it is the first or last time you'll see or experience it. By fully concentrating on the present, you won't miss a thing!
Concentration can help you get ahead in life. Use these tips and find out for yourself!
