Focusing

I have always found it hard to focus on one task at a time. my brain will get bamboozled by all the future tasks that i need to get done. That is why i have found it important to invest in spending time learning how to increase focus in my everyday life.

I have been recently reading Cal Newport’s book “Deep Work” where he depicts how to fully focus on a task without spending hours on it. He speaks of an equation that President Roosevelt used, it said ” Work Accomplished = Time spent . intensity. Basically what it says is that the more focus you put in, isolating your brain to one simple task that you will complete is a much better use of your time. Granted that the equation shows that more hours will lead to a higher amount of work accomplished, but in a much slower time.

The advice here is that to really focus on your work, eliminate all other thoughts and distractions. Focusing on one task at a time will lead to higher levels of success.
