Sa lahat ng bagay na ating ginagawa natin kinakailangan lagi ng concentration para matapos natin ng maayos.
Sa work na pinasukan ko kelangan ng concentration (programming)
Any tips from you? ;D
hmm.. when i lift heavy weights sa gym like 200-lbs dumbell bench presses. I take deep breath... to fill myself with oxygen.. I relax my muscles and focus on the part na gagamitin.. I then cut all emotions that I feel... my love life, my friends, everything.. All in my mind is the muscle and iron.
So.. bale.. I focus on something lang. Dont entertain unnecessary thoughts. drink coffee and stop listening to the mp3.

huhu hirap naman..... dami kasi lumilipuad sa isip ko pag may ginagawa ako... and it's hard to "force" to stop, parang voluntary siya :'(
tapusin mo ibang mga sinimulan mo'ng trabaho o magdamag mong pag-iisipan yan.

stop listening to the mp3.
sometimes this works for me.
^^ nadadala kase aq ng emotions sa mga pinakikinggan qng mp3s.. so in the end na-alter na ung thought and concentration q..
ang mhrap alisin eh ung mga lingering strong feelings sa loob mo.. pampasira ng concentration..
when absorbing information, i don't listen to mp3's. pero sa mga panahon na di ako mka-focus dahil sa maraming iniisip, makikinig lang ako ng relaxing music saka tuloy-tuloy na pag-focus ko sa trabaho at a leisurely pace.
i just found a video on youtube that is said to improve your concentration. So far ang ginagawa ko pa lang yung nag toothbrush na kaliwa ang kamay lol!

enough sleep
^ and enough food eaten.
make a plan
kapag nagproprogram eto ang ginagawa ko:
Para maeliminate ang unnecessary noise sa paligid, I listen to mp3s.
I put deadline and goal for the day. In that case eh mas mamomotivate ako at yung focus ko eh hindi mawawala.
I rest my mind every 2 hours by browsing the net, by FB or by chatting to my colleagues.
Always have a plan and priorities set. Share ko lang ako meron akong POST-IT na naka-dikit sa Monitor ko sa office na nakalagay "FOCUS!!!". As in kapag nakaharap ako sa monitor ko iyon ang una kong napapansin. Somehow nakakatulong naman siya lalo na kapag talagang distracted na ako...hahaha. :P ;D :D
e pano kung nakabukas din pgg mo at fb hehe...distractions din ito minsan

Ngayon wala pa naman trabaho eh saka maaga pa kaya ok pa naman...hahaha(lulusot pa :D)
pareho tayo sinisingit sa work
focus!!
its the level of concentration you practice at something.
So you could be concentrating on something but perhaps not be focused on it.
If you were really interested in that object or person, and devoted all of your concentration on it, it can be said that you are focused.
nose bleed ako jude.haha
go back to the basic. I ask to myself, bakit ko ba ginagawa to... :)

Top 5 Tips to Improve Your Concentration
When TV newscaster Diane Sawyer was asked the secret to her success, she said, "I think the one lesson I've learned is there is no substitute for paying attention."
Are you thinking, "I agree, but HOW do we improve our ability to focus and maintain attention -- no matter what?"
These five FOCUS tips can help you concentrate better -- whether you're working in a busy office, studying at school, sitting in a meeting, or trying to finish a project.
F = Five More Rule
There are two kinds of people -- those who have learned how to work through frustration, and those who wish they had. From now on, if you're in the middle of a task and tempted to give up -- just do FIVE MORE.
Read FIVE MORE pages. Finish FIVE MORE math problems. Work FIVE MORE minutes.
Just as athletes build physical stamina by pushing past the point of exhaustion, you can build mental stamina by pushing past the point of frustration.
Just as runners get their second wind by not giving up when their body initially protests, you can get your "second mind" by not giving up when your willpower initially protests. Continuing to concentrate when your brain is tired is the key to S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G your attention span and building mental endurance.
O = One Think At a Time
Samuel Goldwyn said, "If I look confused, it's because I'm thinking." Feeling scatter-brained? Overcome perpetual preoccupation with the Godfather Plan -- make your mind a deal it can't refuse. Yes, the mind takes bribes. Instead of telling it NOT to worry about another, lesser priority (which will cause your mind to think about the very thing it's not supposed to think about!), assign it a single task with start-stop time parameters.
For example, "I will think about how to pay off that credit card debt when I get home tonight and have a chance to add up my bills. For now, for the next thirty minutes from 1-1:30 pm, I will give my complete focus to practicing this presentation so I am eloquent and articulate when pitching this proposal to our VIP clients."
Still can't get other concerns out of your head? Write them down on your to-do list so you're free to forget them. Recording worrisome obligations means you don't have to use your brain as a "reminder" bulletin board, which means you can give your undivided attention to your top priority task.
C = Conquer Procrastination
Don't feel like concentrating? Are you putting off a task or project you're supposed to be working on? That's a form of procrastination. R. D. Clyde said, "It's amazing how long it takes to complete something we're not working on."
Next time you're about to postpone a responsibility ask yourself, "Do I have to do this? Do I want it done so it's not on my mind? Will it be any easier later?" Those three questions can give you the incentive to mentally apply yourself because they bring you face to face with the fact this task isn't going away, and delaying will only add to your guilt and make this onerous task occupy more of your mind and time.
U = Use Your Hands as Blinkers
Picture your mind as a camera and your eyes as its aperture. Most of the time, our eyes are "taking it all in" and our brain is in "wide-angle focus." We can actually think about many things at once and operate quite efficiently this way (e.g., imagine driving down a crowded highway while talking to a friend, fiddling with the radio, keeping an eye on the cars beside you, and watching for your exit sign.)
What if you want to switch to telephoto focus? What if you have to prepare for a test and you need 100% concentration? Cup your hands around your eyes so you have "tunnel vision" and are looking solely at your text book. Placing your hands on the side of your face blocks out surroundings so they are literally "out of sight, out of mind." Think about the importance of those words.
Want even better news? Does the name Pavlov r-r-r-ring a bell? If you cup your hands around your eyes every time you want to switch from wide-angle to telephoto focus, that physical ritual becomes a Pavlovian trigger.
Remember? Pavlov rang the bell, fed the dog, rang the bell and fed the dog, until the dog started salivating as soon as he heard the sound of the bell. Similarly, using your hands as blinkers every time you want to narrow your focus teaches your brain to switch to "one track" mind and concentrate on your command.
S = See As If For the First or Last Time
Want to know how to be "here and now" and fully present instead of mindlessly rushing here, there, and everywhere? Frederick Franck said, "When the eye wakes up to see again, it suddenly stops taking anything for granted." Evelyn Underhill said, "For lack of attention, a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day."
I constantly relearn this lesson. One time I was giving my sons their nightly back rub. Although I was sitting right next to them, I might as well have been in the next country because I was thinking of the early morning flight I needed to take the next day and wondering if I had packed my hand-outs, if my ticket was in my purse, etc.
Suddenly, my unfocused eyes fell upon my sons and I truly SAW Tom and Andrew as if I was looking at them for the first time. I was immediately flooded with a sense of gratitude for these two healthy, thriving boys. I felt so blessed to have been gifted with such wonderful sons. In an instant, I went from being absent-minded to being filled with a sense of awe and appreciation for their presence in my life.
Next time your mind is a million miles away, simply look around you and really SEE your surroundings. Study that exquisite flower in the vase. Get up close to the picture on the wall and marvel at the artist's craftmanship.
Lean in and really look at a loved one you tend to take for granted. This will "Velveteen Rabbit" your world and make it come alive in your mind's eye.
To enhance your concentration and powers of focus, count your steps when you walk. This is a particularly strong technique. Take six steps while taking a long inhale, hold your breath for another six steps, and then exhale for six steps. If six steps is too long for the breaths, do whatever you feel comfortable with. You will feel very alert, refreshed, internally quiet and centered after this exercise. So many people allow their minds to be filled with mental chatter. All peak performers appreciate the power of a quiet, clear mind which will concentrate steadily on all important tasks.
It is also important that you enhance your will power.
