What are three tips to strengthen your focus? Start your day with some grounding - This can be a short or longer meditation first thing in the morning. Or maybe it's slowing things down and being more mindful about the tasks you have in the day (preparing breakfast, eating breakfast, taking a shower, engaging with your family or roommates). When working reduce distractions - If you're working on a project, turn off your Smartphone and email for a period of time. In The Now Effect I talk about having an email meditation where the email is your point of focus for a specific period of time. Whenever you find your mind wandering off to anything else, you just note that, take a breath and gently bring your attention back to the email. Don't forget to rest - The brain works very hard during the day and needs times to rest in order to reboot. Practice these few things a day and you'll likely find yourself calmer, more content and confident at what you do. There's even a good chance that you'll be more effective at multitasking than you were in the past.
