Here are some tips to help you focus amid all the chatter and commotion around you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Brianne Hogan at SheKnows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From workplace interruptions to the rabbit hole that\u2019s otherwise known as social media, it\u2019s no wonder you have trouble concentrating. Distractions of all sorts are rampant everywhere, which explains why you might experience frequent feelings of frustration when it comes to sitting down and actually completing a task on your to-do list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe live in a tsunami of texts, emails, phone calls, social media postings, invitations to connect and constant temptations to go online to shop or otherwise surf the \u2018net,\u201d Dr. Edward Hallowell, a medical doctor and ADHD expert, tells SheKnows. \u201cWe are never without access to elsewhere. We are always, everywhere available; hence we are never anywhere fully present. We live in the Age of Distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news, though, is that there are ways to improve your ability to concentrate. Here are some tips to help you focus amid all the chatter and commotion around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hallowell recommends engaging in vigorous exercise for five minutes before concentrating on the task at hand. \u201cThis changes your brain blood chemistry altogether. It is like pushing the reset button on your brain,\u201d he says, adding that adhering to a regular routine of physical activity will also help your ability to focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid multitasking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While multitasking has somehow managed to become a badge of honor in our society, according to Dr. Tamsin Astor, a psychologist and neuroscientists and author of Force of Habit: Unleash Your Power by Developing Great Habits, we should actually be doing the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMultitasking is something that we all think we can do, but actually, only a tiny percentage of the population is capable of real multitasking,\u201d she tells SheKnows. \u201cWhat the majority of us are doing is switching back and forth between many things and taking longer and being less efficient. Concentrating on one task at a time makes us more efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both Hallowell and Astor recommend meditating to help with concentration. \u201cIt improves your ability to concentrate because it is a constant practice of letting go of your thoughts and coming back to the breath,\u201d says Astor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hallowell, who says meditation operates on the same neurotransmitters he uses to treat ADHD, suggests meditating for five minutes before you sit down to tackle a task that requires concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan out your day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you have a clearly prescribed order of events, it\u2019s easier to concentrate on the task at hand because you know you have time scheduled for the other things on your to-do list \u2014 like eat, working out, calling clients, collecting kids \u2014 and you don\u2019t waste time distracting yourself with decisions,\u201d says Astor. In an attempt to restrict your screen time even more, you might want to consider opting for a desk planner to schedule your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try the Pomodoro Technique<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astor suggests using the Pomodoro Technique, a time-management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The method uses a timer set for 25 minutes in length to break down work into intervals, which is separated by short breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To maximize your productivity, Astor advises choosing a specific piece of work to tackle using the technique and telling your coworkers about it for accountability. After the timer goes off, \u201cReport on how it went and give yourself five minutes to get a cup of tea or stretch your legs. Repeat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect with people offline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While being in constant contact with people online might distract us, on the flip side, Hallowell recommends regular doses of positive human contact offline could actually improve concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s what I call \u2018the other vitamin C,\u2019\u201d he says. \u201cVitamin connect. This could mean a smile, a hug, a warm conversation, a walk with a friend.\u201d In-person contact is known to reduce stress, and stress interferes with our ability to concentrate, he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manage your stress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, stress management is extremely important when it comes to focusing. \u201cStress hormones \u2014 adrenaline and cortisol \u2014 are designed to allow our bodies to fight or flee, and they do this by drawing the blood away from the brain and the gut to the limbs,\u201d Astor explains. \u201cThis means that your brain does not work as well when you are under stress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why she recommends sleeping seven to eight hours a night, exercising regularly, meditating and eating good food. \u201cSerotonin, that feel good hormone, is in your gut, so what you eat affects how you feel,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we might not ever be free from distractions, by taking the time to exercise, meditate, connect with loved ones and schedule our to-do lists, we might finally get a grasp on concentrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
