5 Tips to Increase Concentration


It is of paramount value to learn how to concentrate. In order to make maximum success of anything, you must be able to concentrate your entire thought upon the idea or task you are working on. The person who is able to concentrate utilizes all constructive thoughts and shuts down all destructive ones.

The power to sustain attention begins at an early age and contributes to success throughout people’s lives. There are several factors during childhood and adolescence which enhance or impair the development of skills which enable to focus for extended periods.

Here are some tips to increase concentration:
  1. Enhance your well-being: Physical activity and dietary choices are factors which contribute to how well you function and your concentration levels. For example, if you skip breakfast you might not be able to perform tasks to the best of your ability. So looking at your well-being, staying active and consuming concentration-boosting foods work towards improving concentration. 

  2. Practice brain training: Problem-solving exercises and brain training methods can have  positive, negative, or no effect at all on concentration. Many research has indicated that people who often do word puzzles, such as crosswords, have better brain function later in life. There is a direct relationship between how often people use word puzzles and the speed/accuracy of performance on tasks assessing the reasoning, memory, and attention. 

  3. Reduce distractions: You might it difficult to concentrate unless you like it. Many motivational speakers suggest that taking a break from the following distractions could enhance your ability to concentrate:

  4. -Email: Controlling the times you log in to email — work or personal can help to boost on-the-job productivity.

  6. -Do I have to do this?

    -Do I want it done so it’s not on my mind?
    -Will it be easier later?
    These questions can bring you face to face with the fact that this task won’t vanish with time, and postponing it will only add to the guilt and make this task occupy more mind and time.

  7. Rethink your environment: Our environment plays a significant role in how well you are able to concentrate. Decluttering your house or desk can make your mind feel more free, organized, and able to think more clearly. Here are some changes favourable for sustaining concentration:

  8. -Create your own work space: Having control over the work environment can increase your productivity.

    -Listen to soothing music: Listening to classical music improves mood and potentially improves diagnostic efficiency, accuracy, and productivity.
