I’m literally watching this to procrastinate trying the dopamine detox from your other video

Video: how to focus. me: cannot even focus on the video, just reading comments.

To improve focus 1. Avoid distractions 2. Sleep 7-9 hrs 3. Keep Hydrated 4. Eat Healthy 5. Exercise To build focus 1. Do a task in the morning 2. Recharge your brain (nap, walk, etc.) Pomodoro Technique 1. Do a task without distractions in a period of time (i.e. 20mins, 30mins) 2. After that take a break for a period of time (shorter than task mode) 3. Repeat it for 4-5 times (Task->break->task...) 4. Then take a break longer than task mode. 5. Back again if you want more. Remember: Focus is like a muscle it need train, recovery and care.

I've found that avoiding checking a mobile phone first thing in the A.M. and doing another task first like writing, cooking or getting ready helps you focus better and think clearer during the day.

As a BONUS TIP, I would like to recommend: Setting an alarm for 60-90 minutes before your designated sleep time to create a "Pre-Sleep Ritual" where you disconnect from all your tech devices (no screen time and set phone on flight mode, and dim the house lights). Do things like brush your teeth, organise your desk, wash dishes, journal down your ideas (download your day onto paper), read your book. That way you will program your mind to calm down with sufficient timing which will allow you to have a higher quality sleep and you will feel incredible and super focused the next day. When you wake up, implement a similar (tech free) Post-Sleep Ritual to start your morning fresh without bombarding your mind with the outside World's distractions wasting your attention units. Keep those habits implemented long enough and there will be no limit to what you can achieve with your new found hyper focus! I hope this serves you well and if you've read this far, I wish you all the best on your journey of personal development and sending much love from Western Australia :)

video: how to focus me: *stops focusing on the video to read comments and post one*

i've always hated the pomodoro thing, because every single video i watch about it tells me to set up a timer, but i eventually check the timer every minute because of anxiety and when the time was getting closer to the end, I couldn't focus on anything but the clock. So I tried something different: when I'm studying, I set the goals for each book chapter, videoclass or question set. I am more likely to study from videos, so I focus my time in one 30 min video or something about that, than take my water break. I breath deeply through my window looking at the sky, play with my dog, eat a fruit or anything, then go back to my desk. I found I work better without time settings and adapted this to my routine.

Discipline plays a role here. Nice job on explaining dude.

it is almost a crime how underrated this channel is. know all your hard work is extremely appreciated

*Mom comes in while I really want to do work* Mom: "Do your work." Me: *Not wanting to do my work anymore*

The 52/17 rule changed how I worked. It's 52 minutes of working with full attention. After, you get a 17 minute break. This seems a bit odd, but the 52 minutes allows me to enter the flow state with ease. I highly recommend it!

How to being focused on something. 1. Remove all distractions a. Avoid any stimuli b. Which could potentially harm your concentration c. Example: phone i. Put it somewhere ii. Where you know it won’t disturb you iii. You won’t be able to look at it d. Aware of the possible distractions, to avoid them 2. Physiology/take care of your body a. Gets 7-9 hours of sleep b. Exercise, ex: short walk (better, walk in nature) c. Hydration d. Healthy diet i. Sugar leads to brain fog  Inability to concentrate 3. Concentration is a skill a. Train your focus b. The more you do it, the better you get at it c. Do smth day after day, i. Able to do it for longer periods of time ii. Have a certain time in your day 4. Make it a habit a. Best time for focus: morning i. 1 hour after waking up ii. Fully awake iii. Mind is not yet occupied with other things 5. Un-stimulate your brain a. Take a proper break i. Go for a walk ii. Meditate } un-plug & start recharging metal energy iii. Take a nap 6. Pomodoro Technique a. Choose a task b. Set a timer for 25 minutes (recommendation) c. Take a 5-minute break d. Restart the timer e. After completed four 25 minutes sessions  take a longer break

"And I know you're procrastinating at this very moment by watching this video." Me: HOW DID HE KNOW

*tries to focus on video. Gets interrupted by ads

Your videos are not only mere videos, they are gems in disguise. I learn new things from your content everytime and try to implement them in my life. You explain it so simply that I find it easy to follow, not all but at least some of them. I'm so grateful.

I’ve been watching these videos while doing my workouts instead of listening to music and I gotta say, it’s definitely been a tool for pushing me to be the best version of myself. Hope all of you receive the advice in this video to the full extent 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

"cellphones aren't the only thing that divide your focu..." *video gets interrupted by ad*

11:15 -concentrate one thing at a time (no scattered focus) -remove all distractions (phone) -physiology (sleep 7-9, exercise daily, hydration, diet, less sugar) -concentration is a skill (train focus, concentration daily, dedicated time - recommended morning) -unstimulate brain (proper break, no phone still stimulation, walk meditate or nap, allow for boredom) -pomodoro technique

Speaking from my own experience, Exercising is the root cause of staying focused. How? Well, I couldn't sleep at night before which had a result of being tired throughout the day cause of sleeping less than 7 hours. So how exactly I can sleep now is because of exercise that makes me feel sleepy and get me proper 7-8 hours of sleep which ultimately helped me to stay focused throughout the day. And honestly, UNHEALTHY FOOD DOES MAKE YOU FEEL SLEEPY!! Trust me or not, Try having junk food for a day then try to focus and have healthy food the other day and then focus, You will notice the difference by yourself. I hope y'all decide what's best for you. All the best peeps.

I like how you reminded us at 11:07 for staying on your video. Made me feel validated that I can focus without being distracted.

Highlight for me is knowing what resting is not, oftentimes id be tired after what I thought was resting.

Me: ‘. ‘Focusing The Video” Ads: Well lets learn how scattered focus starts...

I don’t know why but your pronunciation is so clear that I can understand every word you’re saying which is amazing.

I’m having trouble even focusing on the video…

Whoa this video changed me from a D stutent to an A student. I just wanna say Thanks dude you made me better than yesterday and I'll forever be thankful of the day I first watched this video🙏

FOCUS 2 TYPES: a. SCATTERED -broadly distributed attention / multitasking -trying to focus about one thing while thinking about another -YOUR BRAIN IS EXTREMELY BAD AT SWITCHING TO MULTIPLE THINGS AT A TIME b. DIRECTED -focusing on one thing & ignoring everything else -how high achievers direct their focus HOW TO AVOID SCATTERED FOCUS? -aim to remove all distractions and avoid any stimuli that could potentially harm your concentration. PHONE = biggest anti-focus machine FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT FOCUS: 1. PHYSIOLOGY -if you want your mind to function optimally, take care of your body. -sleeping under 7 hours a day compromises concentration. -7-9 hrs = better 2. EXERCISE 3. HYDRATION 4. DIET CONCENTRATION IS A SKILL. do it everyday. have a certain time in your day when you concentrate intensely on just one task. Make it a habit. Best time = morning, 1 hr after waking up UNSTIMULATE YOUR BRAIN give your mind a rest after a while. (without stimulating it, ex. phone) instead meditate, go for a walk, nap, etc. POMODORO TECHNIQUE -choose a task -set a timer for 25 mins -after completing 25 mins, take a 5 mins break -after completing 4 x 25 mins session, take a longer break (usually 30 mins) -adjust timings to your liking

Thank you for your kindness in sharing with me and to other people who have trouble finding how to fix focus.

This will not only make you better when it comes to productivity , but also it makes your personal life much better. Because when you are focused on your tasks throughout the day , after some time it makes you more present , gratefull , happier . You have more energy and you are spontenously more positive. Than when you come to your family back or your friends or especially girlfriend , you connect with them easier , talk with them without struggle , enjoy life with them without struggle. Than they follow your path of increasing happines , grattitude , positivity and joy , what leads to much more love. Than ,all of a sudden , world is a nicer place.

1. remove all distractions - (phone) 2. physiology - sleep, exercise, hydrate, diet 3. planned focus - schedule with Pomodoro 4. concentration is a skill 5. unstimulate your brain - nap, walk, meditate

"Sleeping 7-9 hours a day and exercising is good for your consideration." School: *№*

This video really hit the point! I like multi tasking and recently I'm stress a lot even right now due to many task and I'll be taking board exam this coming november. I started reviewing last monday and I only have three months left. I really need this because Im really having a hard time focusing. Thank you si much

Thank you for sharing this valuable insight on focus and procrastination.

I really felt "Better than yesterday" after watching this video

1. Avoid distractions 2. Fulfill your basic needs, fulfill them the proper way. 3. You can train your concentration like a muscle. 4. Have a time set for every day for that concentration training to keep it sharp. 5. After concentrating for a longer period of time, give your brain a break, meaning don't do anything that uses your brain too heavily. For concrete information, it is advised to watch the whole video.

Your Channel is litterally a blessing .,..Keep it going, it's so helpful

thank you for making this video. you made my mom think that im normal, since you made a whole video about it.

Video: "That being said, cellphones aren't the only thing that can divide your focus" Me: *Playing with empty water bottle while watching this video*

Video: "You should avoid all distraction” KZfaq: “Here’s an ad for you”

thank you so much. At least once a day, i watch your video and it always helps me.

POV: you were thinking about other stuff while watching the video😂 Way to go dude

I remember when I was in high school I was able to study for hours & hours but after entering university I lost everything. being an introvert & depressed person it's really hard to concentration on anything especially learning. I can't concentrate and not being able to increase my programming skills which I have been trying to do for a long time. I like your video btw. in this social media era, it's really hard to focus. it's easier to wasting time on social media. i literally hate myself

1.directed focus 2.Avoid distractions AT ALL COSTS INCLUDING YOUR PHONE 3.Take care of your body like getting enough sleep,exercise regularly 4.concentration is a skill....train it like you are training for a sport and do it in the mornings if possible 5.make FOCUS A DAILY HABIT 6. unstimulate your brain...take a nap,for for a walk,read a few pages and meditate but no PHONE 7.take regular breaks by using the pomodoro technique

I'm procrastinating. I have a project at work I cannot focus on. Good info!

My father said, exercising is the root cause of staying focused. I woke up early in the morning. I went to jogging, doing some push ups and at the same time. I'm meditating too and when i got to home. i studied english but i feel sleepy because of exercising, i can't do focus even though ive been meditating. Sorry, my english is not that good to explain my experience. Ive trying my best to learn english. Thank youuuu

0:00 Why you can't Focus 1:02 Scattered and Directed Focus 4:30 Physiology (Take care of your Body) 5:57 Concentration is a skill (train focus, concentration daily, dedicated time - recommended morning) 8:04 Un-stimulate your brain (proper break) 10:13 Pomodoro technique 11:14 Summarize

Im reading comments while watching this and thinking of other things. what a mess

I was able to focus on one thing much better when I was a kid. But as I started using cellphone and smartphone I became unable to focus. We're used to get stimulated frequently so we can't stand to be bored now. This video was so useful. I'll try to follow the tips from now on. thank you so much.

Napping definitely helps with giving your mind the break it needs if done properly, and it all depends on what your mind wants, if you have over 3 hours of a nap it will stuff your mental clock up, but a 1 hour nap is very refreshing for me.

Right now you must be procrastinating looking at this video Me: look to my left at my notes I need to chart, continues to listen to video and scroll through comments. Leave a comment about me procrastinating about being more focused. The struggle is real😣

Irony.... I'm focused on listening to this message with no distraction, then a commercial pops up during the video.

9:53 Only because i couldn't realise this thing earlier,i binge-watched so many videoes & procrastinated a lot. I really am very grateful to you. Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much. This channel is so helpful for me to put myself together. By the way exercises and food habits play a huge part, by own experience I could say.

Video: Put your phone away so you can focus on studying. My Ebook textbooks: I am inevitable.

Video: don't divide your focus Me: agreeing while watching this, making a comment, and doing calculus homework while thinking about watching the Ozarks on Netflix tonight.

As someone with ADHD I can say that these are all genuinely helpful tips! That’s pretty rare so thank you for the guidance!

Oh the irony of a video about focus and distractions having multiple ad breaks in it.

Thank you for your content, and I find them educational. Keep up the great work!☺

I'm learning english and just found this chanel. It's amazing. I can learn a lot about english cause the draws and texts on the videos help me to compreend the topic, and, at same time, I learn something to improve myself. great. thanks for the content.

Needed this video today since after a few hard weeks, I'm finding it hard to correct my students' (rather complex) papers this weekend. Thanks for the reminder of what breaks should be like! So now I'm using the 45 mins work - 15 mins rest strategy and it works a lot better. Thank you!

Found this video in my recommended. Nice one KZfaq!!!

i love how they're actually aware that we sometimes procrastinate while watching their videos xD

This is a huge problem I face everyday!!! Thanks so much!!! Love uuu!!!! Have a nice day after listen it everyone

"I know you're procrastinating by watching this video" I didn't expect to get attacked like that

I gotta make a special time for using the internet so I dont get distracted

great advice, social media is really ease boredness, that's why when taking a break I used to get my phone and log in to messenger who's chatting me . i can't get over with social media right now. but I will strive and apply the things you've taught to finish a scripture so that it is the best feeling at achievement without distraction. thankyou

I was so frustrated trying to focus even though i had the motivation and you helped a lot So thank you so much you literally made my day, sir :)❤

1. Remove all distractions. 2. Take care of body (exercise , be hydrated) 3. Concentration is a skill 4.Make it a Habit 5. Un-stimulate your brain 6. Pomodoro Technique

I love you mom , even that you are the most distractive person for me

thank you for this video. Before I know that, I can't concentrate on learning or doing anything for more thaN 10 minutes. Especially, I must learn and take IELTS next 2 months, your content is like a new horizon that open myself and enhance my attention level. I appreciate that.

thanks a lot, i haven't tried yet but taking notes helped me understand why i had bad fouces and became more awear of it.

Meditation helped me a lot to stay in the present moment and to focus:) Greetings

I agree, when I'm mentally exhausted, though I tend to pick up my phone and start swiping, deep in my mind what I actually want to do is to think about nothing, go for a walk or meditate.

Thanks KZfaq for recommending me this legendary channel

First, thank you for the video and your work. Second, thank you for insisting I should take notes. They're really helpful, but I usually hate to have to reach por a pad. Third , thank you for aknowledging it can be hard for some people to sit and listen to 15 uninterrupted minutes of self help. Your recap at the end helps too. You're very good at your job.

This guy needs a *Nobel prize* for such good and beneficial videos

Got distracted 3 times with the ads. But managed to look at all the video. My focus must've been improved 😁

Loved this video a lot. I hardly watched it on 3 sessions though : ))) Social media impacted my reading habits of fiction books so much. I just cannot concentrate. I bought like 6 novels, and hardly finished one. It didn't impact my non-fiction book reading focus however. I don't know why, but I think it has to do with phone distraction. In the old days, reading a fiction book was the escape from the real world. Now, the escape is the smart phone.

I have this on top of my list now, to achieve the superpower of focus.

When you're trying to focus in this video and an ad plays surprisingly.

It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Always clear, simple, concrete! Thanks!

Watching this was so easy and engaging because of how beneficial the information you provide is. At the end it did not seem like a long video at all.

I liked the name of the channel: "Better than yesterday" is a very good phrase.

This was gold. I have now created a structure for my day, incorporating all elements of this sessions' training. Every point was justified and explained clearly, and had simple animations with it; important because we are very visual creatures (hence watching this video over a blog). My day will now consist of: 5am -- Wakeup 5:10 - 8am -- Study with phone out of room 9 - 5 -- Job 5:30 - 6 -- Help make dinner with Mum so I can cook when I leave home 6 - 6:30 -- Dinner 6:45 - 7 -- Dog night walk 7 - 9 -- Study with regular breaks of either reading or walking around house 9 - 9:30 -- Read 9:30 -- Bed Keep up the great work making these quality videos guys! You have a new sub now :)

Absolutely amazing job in this video! You summarized all key points of proper focus very well. There are productivity courses and consultants who invoice thousands and can teach only small part of this info. Keep doing the good work!

Yes! Any time we believe that we are multitasking, or running processes in parallel, but that's not true. Every task requires 'booting' up a set of rules or context. Switching tasks means booting up a different set of rules. This is as time consuming as being interrupted while focusing. They say it takes up 15 minutes to get back into what you're doing. Multi-tasking is like working with people who interrupt you every half hour, but i's self-suffering. Great video

I got distracted and ended up spending 10 mins on Facebook while watching this vid, now I have to watch again:D

hope Better than yesterday to grow faster than yesterday cause youre so helpfull dude 💯

1. Focus attention on 1 thing 2. Remove all distractions (phone) 3. Sleep, Exercise, Diet, Hydrate 4. Make it a habit 5. Breaks - walk or meditate 6. Pomodoro

This is such a helpful video that I have ever seen in my life. Thank you so much for changing my mind !

Yo I'm literally holding myself back from switching videos the entire time, I guess my focus is a little bit better now. Thanks a lot

I’m a night owl. My best time to focus is the couple hours right before bed. I know I only have a small amount of time to get tasks done before I need to sleep and that keeps me on track. Plus there are less people working at this time who are likely to distract me with conversation

I'm having trouble focusing with all the ads.

Me having difficulty focusing on the video 😂

I'm now watching almost all your videos cuz they are so good, keep it up, even when it's hard to find more c:
