Having Difficulty Focusing or Concentrating?
- Does your mind easily wander?
- Are you driven to distraction?
- Is your concentration span very short?
- Do you have difficulty focusing or concentrating?
Emails, social media, internet surfing, fun activities, phone calls, talkers, gossipers, doomsayers, worrying…. the list of possible distractions goes on. How do you handle these? Do you manage them well? Or are you easily distracted by them? Do you have difficulty focusing or concentrating?
People who are easily distracted find it difficult to be mindful, and to be fully present. Their mind wanders off easily, making it difficult to have their thoughts and emotions on the task at hand.
What is the real distraction?
While emails, social media, internet surfing and fun activities all have a purpose and can help you to stay connected with people, to switch off and recharge. They can become distractions when they prevent you from concentrating on the task or priority at hand, or from meeting a goal or deadline.
Similarly, it is important to make and take phone calls, listen to and hear people and their concerns, appreciate alternative perspectives, interact with well-meaning people who approach you with opportunities. These can all be distractors when they interfere with the priorities, goals and outcomes we set.
Professionals and business owners who have clarity of direction and purpose, with clear goals and priorities are less easily distracted than those without that clarity. People without this clarity are the real distraction. They have difficulty focusing or concentrating. Unconsciously they will distract themselves because they don’t know what they really want. They will easily be distracted by:
- opportunities, new gadgets and shiny objects
- gossip, negativity and other people’s dramas
- spending too much time reading emails, internet surfing, social media
- their negative self talk, insecurities, worries, fears, and deeper core issues; all of which can prevent them from knowing what they really want in their career, business, relationships and life.
They will be looking for something, yet will find it difficult to find what they really need or want because they do not know what they want. This is similar to people who go shopping and have no idea for what they are looking. They will spend hours looking and browsing and leave empty handed, buy things they do not need, be unhappy with their purchase or may even return what they buy.
Take control of your focus and concentration
The best way to stop the distractions is to get clear about what you really want. Your mind will focus on what you ask it to – either scatter focused (hence the term scatter brained) or highly focused on your purpose/goals/priorities.
Your mind is waiting for that clarity so that it knows what to do with the mass of information we are presented with each day. Does it take in a piece of information, delete it, ignore it, process it, store it, action it, make a choice and which one, etc.? Until then, indecision, confusion, procrastination, and overwhelm can kick in and lead to distraction, and inaction.
The great news is that once you address the underlying causes of distraction, you obtain a deep clarity about what you truly want. In turn, this empowers you to focus on what you want, and assists you to concentrate as you take action towards achieving it.
