What i want to know? #2

How to concentrate? Sometimes I think I am good at juggling between things and am proud of the ability to do many things at the same time, but I have to admit, if I would concentrate I would finish the tasks quicker and the quality would be better, so how?

There are many pointers and tips what to do. But the best for me what i found was FIVE MORE RULE .

Work FIVE MORE minutes. Read FIVE MORE pages … just FIVE MORE before i want to give up.

Mental stamina can be built, just like physical stamina (take an example of athletes who always push themselves into new heights, new weights, new distances even if they are tired).

Another suggestions, which I will try – i will make a deal with my mind it can’t refuse. Yes, the mind takes bribes. I will assign start and finish time and bribe myself with something if I have finished what is in my plans, in my daily plan ;)

And I have to touch also the oh-so-much touched upon suggestions how to be more productive by concentrating:

1. Relax

2. Free the mind

3. Find the right conditions

4. Make a daily schedule

I know it is so obvious what should be done when one wants to be concentrated, but easier said than done … Yes.

    haha my cousin always used to say (when I was little) that you have to do five more abs when you feel tired, because only then you will get the flat stomach ;)
