2 pointsby kiloreuxover 8 years ago
I am a master student working on towards graduation this coming summer. I find really hard time focusing on the current tasks in hand my thoughts are always somewhere else. My mind is always distracted, how can I achieve better focus, please share any thoughts, books or ideas you have. Thank you.

If it&#x27;s at all possible, try and organise your tasks so you can be offline &#x2F; away from distractions when you&#x27;re needing to get things done.<p>eg turn off your phone, ensure your computer is set for no notifications, etc.<p>Try to have the absolute minimal amount of device oriented &#x2F; external things grabbing your attention.<p>If you&#x27;re constantly really, really unfocused at present - which it sounds like - this can take a few days to get right.<p>In the meantime - until you adjust - you&#x27;ll probably feel really bored without the external stimulus. If you can get through that, you&#x27;re set. :)
