Yes, if you want to concentrate on something, you got to fight back all the distractions and temptations in your midst. In that way, we can count on our productivity.

Yes, concentration is indeed the passport to success. As you said, many people are very busy in their work life although sometimes friends say they are too busy to 'calm down' but have time for TV soaps and such like. I think that if someone is serious about calming down, which is a precursor to concentration and focus, it is advisable to start with the simplest of exercises - taking deep belly breaths 10 - 15 times. You'd be surprised how calm you become. With a little bit of practice, you can easily achieve Remez's recommendations.

concentration and focus are keys to accomplishing your dreams and desires... one can spend more time flitting about is a form of 'active' procrastination. Liking the tips.. thanks!

If you pay attention to what you are doing you improve your focus.

People quite often do one thing while thinking about something else. It is true that there are many things that we often do, and therefore we do them automatically, without thinking. Yet, if you pay more attention to your actions you will do them better and improve your concentartion at the same time.

Thank you for sharing such nice topic with us.
I strongly like point that says "Turn off your TV and radio, and disconnect your phone." Because in the today's high tech world most of the people and children have cell phone. People spend all the time on the phone and wasting the time.This also looses our concentration.
I will suggest one more point if you don't mind..

We can do meditation to improve our concentration

so ask me

Hypnotherapy is an excellent resource for resolving stress and regaining a sense of balance. The seeds of our feelings of powerlessness are often sown in our early years when we indeed were, for all intents and purposes, powerless.
