- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- 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!

Just did that!
omg I just did the same thing :-)
Ditto
it`s too long
Me too😁😁😁
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.
it is almost a crime how underrated this channel is. know all your hard work is extremely appreciated
Very true
Nah but 4REal, this channel is really changing my lifestyle in a drastic way
This channel will get the attention it deserves, maybe in 1-2 yrs. I hope you wont stop making amazing videos.
well said
YES SO TRUE
*Mom comes in while I really want to do work*
Mom: "Do your work."
Me: *Not wanting to do my work anymore*
Me too brother, me too
LOL same!
So annoying
This is so demotivating
Haha me too!!
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

@@lullemans72 its a parallel reality to the world of 95 % of internetusers.
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.
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

That was a break from focusing on the video! 😂
Same here.
11:15

-concentration is a skill (train focus, concentration daily, dedicated time - recommended morning)
-unstimulate brain (proper break, no phone still stimulation, walk meditate or nap, allow for boredom)

Thanks, now I don’t need to focus for so long 🤣
Thanks
Can someone summarize victors comment for me ?
Thanks my man
@@kris803 don't get distracted; take breaks, and be healthy.
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.
Highlight for me is knowing what resting is not, oftentimes id be tired after what I thought was resting.
Me: ‘. ‘Focusing The Video”

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’m having trouble even focusing on the video…
Realest comment
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.
1. remove all distractions - (phone)
2. physiology - sleep, exercise, hydrate, diet
3. planned focus - schedule with Pomodoro
4. concentration is a skill
5. unstimulate your brain - nap, walk, meditate

Same with college and uni...
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
Thank you for sharing this valuable insight on focus and procrastination.
I really felt "Better than yesterday"
after watching this video
Lol same here
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.

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.
😂😂😂

Way to go dude
1.directed focus
2.Avoid distractions AT ALL COSTS INCLUDING YOUR PHONE
3.Take care of your body like getting enough sleep,exercise regularly
4.concentration is a skill....train it like you are training for a sport and do it in the mornings if possible
5.make FOCUS A DAILY HABIT
6. unstimulate your brain...take a nap,for for a walk,read a few pages and meditate but no PHONE
7.take regular breaks by using the pomodoro technique
I remember when I was in high school I was able to study for hours & hours but after entering university I lost everything. being an introvert & depressed person it's really hard to concentration on anything especially learning. I can't concentrate and not being able to increase my programming skills which I have been trying to do for a long time. I like your video btw. in this social media era, it's really hard to focus. it's easier to wasting time on social media. i literally hate myself
Same with me

> wake up at 5:30 every morning
> 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!

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

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.

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.
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

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.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Loved this video a lot. I hardly watched it on 3 sessions though : ))) Social media impacted my reading habits of fiction books so much. I just cannot concentrate. I bought like 6 novels, and hardly finished one. It didn't impact my non-fiction book reading focus however. I don't know why, but I think it has to do with phone distraction. In the old days, reading a fiction book was the escape from the real world. Now, the escape is the smart phone.
Well I guess nowadays scientists, system engineers and others have oversimplied the process where the consumers don't have to read, write, and do alot of step like before. Is so crazy that now we have gesture inputs, speech recognition, user friendly user interfaces and etc. I guess the fact that Amazon Fresh, Instacart, Netflix, and auto pilot with Tesla just shows how automotive things have become. Not to mention macros to eliminate even basic manual typing to even narrow AI
I have this on top of my list now, to achieve the superpower of focus.
When you're trying to focus in this video and an ad plays surprisingly.
It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Always clear, simple, concrete! Thanks!
Watching this was so easy and engaging because of how beneficial the information you provide is. At the end it did not seem like a long video at all.
I liked the name of the channel: "Better than yesterday" is a very good phrase.
This was gold.
I have now created a structure for my day, incorporating all elements of this sessions' training. Every point was justified and explained clearly, and had simple animations with it; important because we are very visual creatures (hence watching this video over a blog). My day will now consist of:
5am -- Wakeup
5:10 - 8am -- Study with phone out of room
9 - 5 -- Job
5:30 - 6 -- Help make dinner with Mum so I can cook when I leave home
6 - 6:30 -- Dinner
6:45 - 7 -- Dog night walk
7 - 9 -- Study with regular breaks of either reading or walking around house
9 - 9:30 -- Read
9:30 -- Bed
Keep up the great work making these quality videos guys! You have a new sub now :)
How do u get up at 5
Aena 5 bc he’s sleeping à 9:30
Are you still continuing this routine??
do you still take a bath?
Absolutely amazing job in this video! You summarized all key points of proper focus very well. There are productivity courses and consultants who invoice thousands and can teach only small part of this info. Keep doing the good work!
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
I got distracted and ended up spending 10 mins on Facebook while watching this vid, now I have to watch again:D
hope Better than yesterday to grow faster than yesterday cause youre so helpfull dude 💯
1. Focus attention on 1 thing 2. Remove all distractions (phone) 3. Sleep, Exercise, Diet, Hydrate 4. Make it a habit 5. Breaks - walk or meditate 6. Pomodoro
This is such a helpful video that I have ever seen in my life. Thank you so much for changing my mind !
Yo I'm literally holding myself back from switching videos the entire time, I guess my focus is a little bit better now. Thanks a lot
I’m a night owl. My best time to focus is the couple hours right before bed. I know I only have a small amount of time to get tasks done before I need to sleep and that keeps me on track. Plus there are less people working at this time who are likely to distract me with conversation
I'm having trouble focusing with all the ads.
yes, sux
Use AdBlock, it's free.
UA-cam Premium, it's worth it.
@@ricky5538 Agreed
Small tip, at the beginning of any video, go to the end the video. After that reload the video and start at the beginning without any interruption from ads.
Me having difficulty focusing on the video 😂
I'm now watching almost all your videos cuz they are so good, keep it up, even when it's hard to find more c:
