It may be obvious that distractions are not helping your attention, but you actually cut? I admit, it can be tempting to put the e-mail alerts, turn on instant messaging and respond to each request sent your way. But in the end it is only prevents you from concentrating.
For me, the essence of education is concentration of mind, not the collection of facts. If I had to do my studies again, and had an influence on the matter, I would not study facts at all. I would develop the power of concentration and detachment, and then with a perfect instrument I could collect facts at will.
Concentration is the essence of all knowledge, nothing can be done without it. Ninety percent of thought work is wasted by the ordinary human being, and therefore he is constantly committing blunders, man or trained mind is never wrong.
The place where you work can affect your ability to concentrate. Try to locate you if you are facing potential distractions such as doors, windows phones. In this way, you can take a look to appreciate the sounds that would otherwise break your home.
Enter a state of concentration can take at least fifteen minutes. If you are not distracted every five years, you can not just focus on your work. Answer e-mails at fixed times. Ask that people do not interrupt you when working on a large project. If you are required to answer the telephone and drop-in immediately, working hours when the office is less busy.
If the rules are not clear from the start, drag you out of concentration as you meditate later.
The mind must be made malleable like clay. Just as clay sticks where you throw, so the mind must be made to focus on any object you focus on.
