- In today's world, being able to focus is almost like a superpower.
You rarely see anyone who's able to concentrate on a single task for hours.
And the individuals who are able to focus, to nobody's surprise, get so much more done than other people.
There are many areas where you could benefit from better concentration. Whether it's for school, studying, work or a hobby. If you're able to focus you can get your desired results faster.
So today I'll explain what's holding you back from focusing and what you can do to improve it.

#Focus #FixYourFocus
I’m literally watching this to procrastinate trying the dopamine detox from your other video
The effects that detox had on me were unreal. You don't even have to do it as strictly as the channel suggests. Just be mindful during the day of all the things you're supposed to avoid. I remember allowing myself to look at a meme a friend sent me, some time during the evening. I laughed out loud when I saw it; that never happens when I browse memes regularly.
this is literally me tho
This comment gave me way too much dopamine.. the detox will be even harder
Lol!!
Your not doing very well then if you are still using your phone or computer to be able to watch this video?
Video: how to focus.
me: cannot even focus on the video, just reading comments.
i couldnt even finish reading a comment
👀😝😝😝
i felt
Hahah so true
Sameeee
To improve focus
1. Avoid distractions
2. Sleep 7-9 hrs
3. Keep Hydrated
4. Eat Healthy
5. Exercise
To build focus
1. Do a task in the morning
2. Recharge your brain (nap, walk, etc.)
Pomodoro Technique
1. Do a task without distractions in a period of time (i.e. 20mins, 30mins)
2. After that take a break for a period of time (shorter than task mode)
3. Repeat it for 4-5 times (Task->break->task...)
4. Then take a break longer than task mode.
5. Back again if you want more.
Remember: Focus is like a muscle it need train, recovery and care.
Thank you sir
That is a great manual on how to be a good little slave bitch economic servant.
How do you avoid distractions? I can't really just shut off my brain then I wouldn't be able to do anything. If I focus too hard I won't be able to do anything for days after
@@thisnicelife correct, don’t focus too hard. I learned that the hard way. Instead, only focus as much as you need to.
Thank you
I've found that avoiding checking a mobile phone first thing in the A.M. and doing another task first like writing, cooking or getting ready helps you focus better and think clearer during the day.
Yes. Your comment reminds me of when I had no internet for a month due to a company account error.
I looked around me all of a sudden, and there was suddenly a world all around me.
My eyes peered and focued into all these different directions rather than just that one, called "down but slightly hunched over."
I admit, doing everything around me still consisted of difficulty, just it did before when compared to the ease of the touchscreen,
but all and all, I AM living better now. A better lifestyle having those options that I never allowed myself to open up to before. 😊
Me too, just waiting until after breakfast to look at any emails or news makes a big difference in my day.
I avoid turning on my phone before doing Bible study.
I just saw an ad for a minimalist phone which doesn't distract and I'm going to see how to make the Android into a minimalist phone
This really does work i tried it and now i'm trying to go back.
Exactly
As a BONUS TIP, I would like to recommend:
Setting an alarm for 60-90 minutes before your designated sleep time to create a "Pre-Sleep Ritual" where you disconnect from all your tech devices (no screen time and set phone on flight mode, and dim the house lights). Do things like brush your teeth, organise your desk, wash dishes, journal down your ideas (download your day onto paper), read your book. That way you will program your mind to calm down with sufficient timing which will allow you to have a higher quality sleep and you will feel incredible and super focused the next day. When you wake up, implement a similar (tech free) Post-Sleep Ritual to start your morning fresh without bombarding your mind with the outside World's distractions wasting your attention units. Keep those habits implemented long enough and there will be no limit to what you can achieve with your new found hyper focus!
I hope this serves you well and if you've read this far, I wish you all the best on your journey of personal development and sending much love from Western Australia :)
Very nice idea. Thanks, Janek!

well said
YES SO TRUE
Tried to focus on this video. Saw an ad and I was distracted. The irony 💀
i've always hated the pomodoro thing, because every single video i watch about it tells me to set up a timer, but i eventually check the timer every minute because of anxiety and when the time was getting closer to the end, I couldn't focus on anything but the clock. So I tried something different: when I'm studying, I set the goals for each book chapter, videoclass or question set. I am more likely to study from videos, so I focus my time in one 30 min video or something about that, than take my water break. I breath deeply through my window looking at the sky, play with my dog, eat a fruit or anything, then go back to my desk. I found I work better without time settings and adapted this to my routine.
I face the same difficulties with timer😢

Discipline plays a role here. Nice job on explaining dude.
The 52/17 rule changed how I worked. It's 52 minutes of working with full attention. After, you get a 17 minute break. This seems a bit odd, but the 52 minutes allows me to enter the flow state with ease. I highly recommend it!
the 52/17 rule or also called the 69 rule always works. nice choice

I’ve been watching these videos while doing my workouts instead of listening to music and I gotta say, it’s definitely been a tool for pushing me to be the best version of myself. Hope all of you receive the advice in this video to the full extent 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Isn't that scattered attention though?
@@TheDianaJC not necessarily! I mainly tune in during my mini breaks, or when I’m doing light sets 😁 it’s been helping me stay motivated and focused for the most part more than music 🙏🏾
Thank you
@TheDianaJC I'm no doctorologist of brainiology or anything, so I could be wrong...
but someone somewhere somehow told me that using your brain while working out can multiply the effect of each... if you can do eet...
Your videos are not only mere videos, they are gems in disguise. I learn new things from your content everytime and try to implement them in my life. You explain it so simply that I find it easy to follow, not all but at least some of them. I'm so grateful.
FOCUS
2 TYPES:
a. SCATTERED
-broadly distributed attention / multitasking
-trying to focus about one thing while thinking about another
-YOUR BRAIN IS EXTREMELY BAD AT SWITCHING TO MULTIPLE THINGS AT A TIME
b. DIRECTED
-focusing on one thing & ignoring everything else
-how high achievers direct their focus
HOW TO AVOID SCATTERED FOCUS?
-aim to remove all distractions and avoid any stimuli that could potentially harm your concentration.
PHONE = biggest anti-focus machine
FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT FOCUS:
1. PHYSIOLOGY
-if you want your mind to function optimally, take care of your body.
-sleeping under 7 hours a day compromises concentration.
-7-9 hrs = better
2. EXERCISE
3. HYDRATION
4. DIET
CONCENTRATION IS A SKILL.
do it everyday.
have a certain time in your day when you concentrate intensely on just one task.
Make it a habit.
Best time = morning, 1 hr after waking up
UNSTIMULATE YOUR BRAIN
give your mind a rest after a while. (without stimulating it, ex. phone)
instead meditate, go for a walk, nap, etc.
POMODORO TECHNIQUE
-choose a task
-set a timer for 25 mins
-after completing 25 mins, take a 5 mins break
-after completing 4 x 25 mins session, take a longer break (usually 30 mins)
-adjust timings to your liking
Thanks for summarizing the information. Focus is an important task for our brain. Specially, my brain😉❤️
Thank you for the amazing summary.
👍
I really felt "Better than yesterday"
after watching this video
Lol same here
Speaking from my own experience, Exercising is the root cause of staying focused. How? Well, I couldn't sleep at night before which had a result of being tired throughout the day cause of sleeping less than 7 hours. So how exactly I can sleep now is because of exercise that makes me feel sleepy and get me proper 7-8 hours of sleep which ultimately helped me to stay focused throughout the day. And honestly, UNHEALTHY FOOD DOES MAKE YOU FEEL SLEEPY!! Trust me or not, Try having junk food for a day then try to focus and have healthy food the other day and then focus, You will notice the difference by yourself. I hope y'all decide what's best for you. All the best peeps.
Agree with you, especially if we eat or drink sweet, it does make us sleepy easily
@@ootdbabangtamvan9275 I know right!! And yeah, Sugar should be avoided if we have proper routine or else sugar is a huge interruption. 🙂
@@riddhidhumale4764 im pretty sure taking sugarie things make u lost focus after 20-30 mins consuming them
@@riddhidhumale4764 and excercising is just not thinking anything, not staying focus cuz idk maybe u had a long break and just wanna take a break and do a simple thing just by walking, it gives a peace to the mind
I'd argue there's many ways to help stay focused state, and that exercising is just one of them. I'm no expect, but I'd say any activity that's "all encompassing" of your attention may help you "be" in a focused state. However, vigorous exercise that physically tires on a regular definitely is hugely helpful in regulating sleep / hormones / mood / etc, and contribute overall to "being more focused in general".
I like how you reminded us at 11:07 for staying on your video. Made me feel validated that I can focus without being distracted.

If only I could sleep 7 hours a night. 5.5 hours is a normal sleep for me. 7 would be a sleep in.
Hahaha, wait till you start working! I've had 90-100 hour work weeks and days when I literally worked 36 hours straight. Fortunately, it's not always like that.
@@taitjones6310 Woah, mad respect to you. But at least working is actually kind of beneficial,it helps the economy and gets you money. Unlike school who takes it all. Trust me,if you have kids take them to European countries like Germany and Finland. They won't suffer like we have.
Who's got that much time to waste and sleep, but the rich
This video really hit the point! I like multi tasking and recently I'm stress a lot even right now due to many task and I'll be taking board exam this coming november. I started reviewing last monday and I only have three months left. I really need this because Im really having a hard time focusing. Thank you si much
I learnt in this video............................

First: band all your distraction things .
Tips- turn your phone on flight mode,
Silenced mode ya switched off all your electronic devices and place them in other room.
Second: management of time.
Tips- make schedules ,that can help provide you to manage your right time to do important things in time.

Tell your siblings or nephews to do not desturb, tell your friends that do not call me or send any other messages or invite me in any party.
Last but list: while doing your schedule or any other business just focused , just stay tuned and chill

Journey becuz life is not short .......
It's just Beginning your goal will soon in your hands 😀❤️ bye 🤗

Youre not the only one haha
Video: "That being said, cellphones aren't the only thing that can divide your focus"
Me: *Playing with empty water bottle while watching this video*
i THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE BRRUH YES water bottle gang
To be honest everything is distracting , if its not an actual work to do
That's actually a great way to keep yourself focussed, as I understand it. It's called fidgetting, look it up, if you want. The theory is that your brain has too much capacity to just focus on one thing, so it's always searching for more stimuli. By playing with a water bottle, pen or something else, you make sure your brain is already fully occupied; this helps you to fully focus on the video, in this case.
😂😂😂
lol hahaa i really love empty plastics bottles etc lol
thank you so much. At least once a day, i watch your video and it always helps me.
Thank you for your kindness in sharing with me and to other people who have trouble finding how to fix focus.
1. Avoid distractions
2. Fulfill your basic needs, fulfill them the proper way.
3. You can train your concentration like a muscle.
4. Have a time set for every day for that concentration training to keep it sharp.
5. After concentrating for a longer period of time, give your brain a break, meaning don't do anything that uses your brain too heavily.
For concrete information, it is advised to watch the whole video.
Thank you, I hate these 10+ minute videos that fix nothing
@@MelloCello7 Even if the video is educational, its literally talking about wasting time, when he should just put the key points in the description. we should choose if we want the examples and explanation. i dont want to waste so much time, when i can note down the main ideas and apply that to myself.
Bro this line
"Avoid Distractions"
Is easy to say... But in figuring it out....
Irony.... I'm focused on listening to this message with no distraction, then a commercial pops up during the video.
It broke off twice into ads during the time I watched it. I thought the same!
If primary goal for this channel is to generate income from the traffic, why would its creator prioritize our user experience over it?
I liked the name of the channel: "Better than yesterday" is a very good phrase.
thank you for making this video. you made my mom think that im normal, since you made a whole video about it.

> exercise for 20-40 minutes first thing after getting up (HIIT/run 1-2 miles)
> get in bed at 9:15 and aim to be asleep by 10:15 every night
This is the bare minimum. Do these things and everything else will work itself out.
Love yourself instead! We are all different, find what works for you. Be you and love that person, because that's the most important relationship in your life. Take one step at a time and reward yourself. Build up some confidence step-by-step and it will get better and better. Also, maybe you could reflect on what changed since high school. Maybe you have more responsibilities now, you are in the process of adjusting to a new situation, finding yourself again? It is not making excuses, it's forgiving and moving on. Focus on what you can do, how far you have come so far, just move on from seeing the negative about yourself and start noticing all the positive stuff. Wish you all the best!

Thank you so much. This channel is so helpful for me to put myself together. By the way exercises and food habits play a huge part, by own experience I could say.
This will not only make you better when it comes to productivity , but also it makes your personal life much better. Because when you are focused on your tasks throughout the day , after some time it makes you more present , gratefull , happier . You have more energy and you are spontenously more positive. Than when you come to your family back or your friends or especially girlfriend , you connect with them easier , talk with them without struggle , enjoy life with them without struggle. Than they follow your path of increasing happines , grattitude , positivity and joy , what leads to much more love. Than ,all of a sudden , world is a nicer place.

Way to go dude
My father said, exercising is the root cause of staying focused. I woke up early in the morning. I went to jogging, doing some push ups and at the same time. I'm meditating too and when i got to home. i studied english but i feel sleepy because of exercising, i can't do focus even though ive been meditating. Sorry, my english is not that good to explain my experience. Ive trying my best to learn english. Thank youuuu
Do flexible exercise like yoga instead of jogging meanwhile you can still jog on days you're less busy
Sometimes when I was younger excercise right before studying made it hard because my heart was still up wait a little bit maybe

I gotta make a special time for using the internet so I dont get distracted
This is a good strategy! You can use apps like Rescue Time or Cold Turkey to block certain websites too in case you get distracted.
I also get annoyed when daily live gets in the way of using the internet. But sadly Cold Turkey can't block my mom from entering the room.
Now is excellent - Never procrastinate.

The resonance of this video is astounding.
Napping definitely helps with giving your mind the break it needs if done properly, and it all depends on what your mind wants, if you have over 3 hours of a nap it will stuff your mental clock up, but a 1 hour nap is very refreshing for me.
Meditation helped me a lot to stay in the present moment and to focus:) Greetings
I agree, when I'm mentally exhausted, though I tend to pick up my phone and start swiping, deep in my mind what I actually want to do is to think about nothing, go for a walk or meditate.
Thank you so much. I totally can relate with situation you have described here

got diagnosed with adhd last week

Got distracted 3 times with the ads.
But managed to look at all the video.
My focus must've been improved 😁
By the way, your profile picture is remarkably distracting.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yes! Any time we believe that we are multitasking, or running processes in parallel, but that's not true. Every task requires 'booting' up a set of rules or context. Switching tasks means booting up a different set of rules. This is as time consuming as being interrupted while focusing. They say it takes up 15 minutes to get back into what you're doing. Multi-tasking is like working with people who interrupt you every half hour, but i's self-suffering. Great video
Watching this video entirelly is a train of focus
This guy needs a *Nobel prize* for such good and beneficial videos
I literally got signed up for an Amazon seller scheme via an ad before this video. Still haven't done any studying yet...

great advice, social media is really ease boredness, that's why when taking a break I used to get my phone and log in to messenger who's chatting me . i can't get over with social media right now. but I will strive and apply the things you've taught to finish a scripture so that it is the best feeling at achievement without distraction. thankyou
