How to stay focused?
It's a difficult question, everybody knows what focus is but almost nobody can find a way to focus on their goals. We all know how to succeed, we have to focus on our target and make efforts to achieve it, however, it's just the fact that we are easily distracted by attractive things or are too lazy to force ourselves on track.
From my point of view, the ability to focus on doing something is a skill that we can learn and practice to make our work better. Some common tips with high recommendations are:
Determine the goal: There is a saying "focus on something", and the "something" here is the goal - the vital element of the focusing process. If you want to focus on something, you have to determine your goal first, then concentrate on how to achieve it.
Find the motivation: Your motivation will be an engine or a tool to gain purpose; some popular type of motivations are: incentives, achievement, or fear.
Set the milestone for the goal: Divide the general goal into smaller goals to eliminate the impatient feeling that makes you easily give up.
Limit the distractions: The enemy of concentration is distraction, they cannot exist in parallel, if you want to focus, you must stay away from all factors that can distract you.
Finally, one of the quotes about focus that I was impressed with is from Aston Eaten - a retired American decathlete and two-time Olympic champion.
