Average Reading Time: 6 minutes
You sit down to get stuff done but after a few minutes your mind is wandering. Your phone buzzes, a new tab opens, and suddenly half an hour has gone by.
If that sounds like you, you’re not the only one. Between social media, notifications and endless multitasking, it’s no wonder focus is harder than ever. The good news is you can train your brain to get better at it again.
1. Spot what’s getting in your way
We live in a world full of distractions. Our brains are on alert all the time and that makes it harder to concentrate. Things like poor sleep, bad diet or even not drinking enough water can also make it worse.
A 2021 study in Nature Human Behaviour found that constantly switching tasks can cut productivity by nearly 40% (source).
2. Make a space for focus
Put your phone in another room for a bit. Use a website blocker so you’re not tempted by Instagram or TikTok. Keep your desk tidy and only have out what you actually need.
3. Eat for brain power
Your brain needs steady fuel. Things like nuts, berries and leafy greens are packed with nutrients that help you think clearly.
4. Build focus slowly
If concentrating feels impossible, start with short chunks of work like 25 minutes then take a 5 minute break. Over time your brain will get better at longer stretches.
5. Give your brain a boost
If you want a natural helper, our Lion’s Mane Focus Gummies are made to support clear thinking and steady concentration.
