The power of concentration is one of the most important skills everyone should possess. This skill is essential in all areas of life and for everyone. However, few spend time on developing it.
Nowadays, the attention span of most people is quite short. There are many reasons for the short attention span, such as the huge amount of information people face, lack of patience, stress, too much work etc.
This is no excuse for the lack of good concentration. You can improve your concentration. Even a few minutes a day training your focus would put you in a better position from where you are now.
You can find many articles on focus and concentration here on this website. I have gathered a few of them on this page so as to make it easier for you to find them.
If you wish to learn this topic more at length and find advice and exercises to assist you in strengthening the power of your concentration and your attention span, I highly recommend reading my book Focus Your Attention.
