WHY IS FOCUS SO IMPORTANT?

You may be surprised to find out that the ability to focus is going to have a big impact on your life. Musicians, artists, and writers stand to produce much more work with more passion if they are focused. 

There are all sorts of actors and musicians that can admit that a project failed because of their lack of passion during that period in their life when they look back on their careers. Professors and teachers can create better exams, assignments, and lectures to help their students succeed if they have more focus. Parents can come up with better activities that are more creative, fun, and educational for their children if they have more focus.

It is actually our lack of focus, or our inability to focus, that can produce uninspiring results in all the things that we do, but this is not the way it has to be. You can take the steps needed to manage your attention, which will be covered extensively in this guidebook. 

Why should you work so hard to increase your own focus? 

Consider these reasons: Better productivity Focus makes it easier for you to stay on task because you are better able to ignore distractions. When you are able to focus, you will be more likely to get into a flow state, which is when your attention is completely absorbed by the task in front of you. 

You will direct your attention in a more productive way and block out the distracting stimuli that would usually break your concentration and stop your momentum, which results in you getting more done in less time. Improved relationships When you are not good at managing your attention, you are more likely to spread yourself too thin, leaving yourself with too little attentional resources, energy, and time to offer to the ones who we value and love. 

When you get better at controlling your attention, you find that it is easier to be present when you spend your valuable time with loved ones and friends. You can form stronger connections with them, more intimacy and trust, which can make you feel more fulfilled. 

Boost your critical thinking Critical thinking is not something that you may have learned to do in college, and then never needed again. It can greatly benefit you at all points of life. For example, thinking critically while reading a book helps you feel more immersed in the story. If you are going to render a judgment, such as dealing with a fight between your kids, critical thinking will better equip you to do it with reason and fairness. 

Focus is important for you to think critically. 

If you are able to master the first one, you are going to improve the latter. More grit Experts often claim that intelligence is not a good measurement of success, however, one of the best ways to tell if you will be able to overcome challenges in your life is your grit or resilience. 

With it, you will likely experience more success in everything you do, but resilience is going to demand some sharp focus. It requires you to zero in on a challenge and devote more cognitive and physical resources to overcome it. You can learn how to direct your attention so that you can handle the challenges that you run into each day and face them with positivity and certainty. 

Greater decisiveness If you are decisive, you have the ability to make good decisions without overanalyzing everything. It lets you evaluate your circumstances, consider the different options, and then choose the one you want with confidence. 

This is important no matter what you do in your life. 

Luckily, it is a skill that you can develop. 

Moreover, attention mastery is an essential ingredient to this. 

It can allow you to make smarter and better decisions in your life.

If you struggle with indecisiveness, you may find yourself getting stuck when it is time to make a decision because you worry about all of the factors to consider. When you are indecisive, you could spend weeks thinking about a decision or second-guessing the decisions that you do make. With better focus, you pay attention to the details and make decisions with confidence. 

Better retention of information that you get Have you ever had trouble remembering new details such as a new concept, a person’s name, or the best route to a destination? 

This is common because many factors affect your ability to hold onto information, including your levels of stress, the amount of sleep you get, and your levels of energy. Your ability to focus has the greatest impact of all. 

Being able to focus allows you to cut through your brain fog, ignore distractions, and concentrate on the details that are important to you or that you want to commit to memory. All of us have things that we need to remember. You need to be able to remember the information that your boss tells you, the names of the people you meet, and so much more. Human beings have to remember all sorts of data, whether it’s e-mail addresses, inspirational quotes, or work deadlines. 

Moreover, with the help of the right amount of focus, you can make this happen. Improved levels of confidence Imagine what it would be like if you were able to master your own attention to the point that you were able to achieve all the other benefits that we discussed in this chapter. How do you think that would affect your self-confidence? It is likely that you are going to feel as if you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. 

Imagine that you get to enjoy more productivity, have the ability to think in a more critical manner, have stronger relationships, are better at making decisions, have improved memory, and can be more resilient, all at the same time. You are going to feel more self-assured when you are ready to start on a new task or a new project, no matter what it is!
