How do you focus your mind on the task at hand?

Answer :

answer:1. Kill your tv. Right now. If you don’t want to disconnect the service, unplug the cable from the back of the tv and put it in a box that difficult to get to. Even if you don’t watch much tv, removing it from you life completely will open up so much more time, you’ll realize how much you may have actually been watching. 2. Install a Chrome plugin to keep you focused, like StayFocusd. It will allow you to decide how long you are allowed to spend browsing the web. It’s highly configurable too. 3. I have found mindfulness meditation to be beneficial. It’s not that my mind no longer carries me away – rather, I’m aware of its attempts to do so much more quickly. I also find that in my case distraction and anxiety are closely related. Reducing anxiety has the great side-effect of increasing concentration and focus.
