This is the day 6th of practicing my daily writing skills to become proficient at writing complex articles for 90 days straight with consistency. With this challenge I am aiming to track my improvement progress so that I can have a better insight on what I need to work at to have best possible results.
I have tried various methods to increase my focus and found exactly that one method among all of them that works best for me so I thought why not write an article on it.
Tracking focus duration
So what I do is I start the timer and try to put my selective focus on whatever things I am learning like reading books or watching some useful content as long as I can without getting distracted. As soon as I see myself getting distracted and not able to focus anymore I stop the timer to see for how long I was able to have full concentration then I take some break like of 5 minutes or more then I restart the timer to see if I am able to hold my focus for much longer time than the previous ones. I do this for 4 to 5 times a day unless and until I am able to reach 7-8 minutes of full concentration without getting distracted. I have just started using this method so I believe even if I am able to have focus for 5 minutes straight then that’s a pretty good start. Whenever I am able to break my previous record, a sense of achievement is felt which motivates me to work more harder and break my new record. My aim is to reach the level of deep work where I can focus for an hour without getting bored or distracted and have multiple such session throughout the day.
My experience writing this article
Though this article is much shorter among all which I have wrote previously and still this one wasn’t easy due to the fact that I was unable to express the exact points that I wanted to. I would say this article isn’t a complete version of what I was willing to convey but still I am happy that I can see what I need to work on to achieve best possible results.
Time it took me to write this article
It took me an hour to finish this article which is what I expected. I will be re editing this article in near future to see how well I can articulate it later on and in how much time.
