Few young adults asked me ways to improve focus.
Sharing what I follow.
To begin with :
* Turn off all gadgets
* Sit in a room & read hard copies of books / newspapers
* Primarily try to focus & absorb the content
* Read aloud if necessary
2/5
* First read with an intention of consuming content . Read slowly
* Gradually shift to reflecting upon it
* Then memorising points
* Finally writing takeaways
* Don't use mobile / laptop for reading when developing attention span . Mostly they are counter productive !
3/5
* It takes time to develop focus.
Won't happen overnight , especially given the addiction to mobile & social media.
So begin consciously & slowly !
* Gradually increase reading speed & time & retention
* Switch to kindle only when comfortable level of focus is reached
4/5
* Finally, use mobile / laptop only once you can comfortably sit for atleast an hour to read & think.
( I don't )
Don't just read / listen - Assimilate it & implement it in your life as per your requirement .
Else we are wasting our time & just piling on garbage !
5/5
A sound mind is needed to focus.
Hence ,ensure you :
-Eat right
-Exercise
-Get Sunshine
-Have plenty of water
-Follow a sleep pattern
Meditation too helps here .
If you could add something more , do share it for the benefit of all ππ
Let's all learn to focus !

Invest in yourself. Read.
Self educate. Think in isolation !
Everything in life can teach you when you possess the right mindset.
Read across a wide spectrum,for the scenes change but the behaviours & outcomes don't.
Few of my takeaways ( with random 2 min doodles).
π
Firstly,
What is Zen ?
#Zen is a Japanese word that is derived from the Sanskrit word Dhyana meaning "Meditation" .
2/21
Zen is a journey of exploration & a way of living that , in and of itself doesn't belong to any one religion or tradition as such.
Zen doesn't teach. It merely
points, enabling us to wake up & become aware.
Ever noticed how zen stories rarely have predefined morals? π€
3/21
The zen of doing anything is doing it with a concentration of mind , a calmness & simplicity of mind, that brings the experience of enlightenment and, through that experience , happiness.
It could be something as mundane as sweeping or peeling potatoes !
3/5
