How to develop laser sharped Focus?

Focus. Focus. And Focus. You might have come across this word probably tens of thousands of times. Whether it was your parents asking you to focus on your studies, your boss asking you to focus on your work, your girlfriend asking you to focus on the relationship, or at 112 other places — you will never hear the end of it, and for good reasons.

Focus drives everything in our life. The things we focus on amplify eventually, irrespective of whether it’s good or bad, positive or negative, beneficial or destructive. When we can focus on the goodies, by prioritizing what’s actually important to us, our efficiencies will skyrocket and we will achieve maximum results in a minimal amount of time.

Life is all about focusing on the right thing at the right place. Many of our problems can vanish instantly, only if we learn how to focus on things the right way. Here, I am not gonna hand you a list of “quick tips” on how to focus better — you can find a ton of shit like that out there already — here I am gonna go to do the bottom of it, what causes us to not be able to focus, the ultimate way to uproot this issue once and for all.

Stay Focused on the Bigger Problem

Many a time, we don’t even know if we actually want to change a particular situation, which explains our lack of focus. In order to stay focused, one has to figure out the most itching problem he is facing today. If he is okay with it, then nothing’s gonna change, but if he isn’t, then that’s where we get answers from.

The answer lies in the question itself. But the thing is that most of the time, we kinda get comfortable with the problem itself, which is why we cannot stay focused and end up living the way we always have been. If you are adamant that, “No, I am not ok with my situation”, “I can’t live this way”, then this attitude itself becomes the breeding ground of laser-sharped focus.

Once this becomes clear, then the solution will automatically walk up to you. Every cure lies in the disease itself. The minute we understand the cause of the disease, that’s when we find the cure too. Similarly, if you understand that you are studying not just to get good grades, but to become independent in life, then your focus will automatically amplify.

Now the thing is that there are infinite problems in our life, and we rashly try to solve them without ever prioritizing them before. We may completely ignore the top three issues and instead squander our focus and attention on solving the bottom ten problems, which may be totally imaginary and unworthy of our precious little time.

Another thing to keep in mind is that just like every antidote has some side effects, similarly, every solution to a problem too has some shortcomings. Now, you have to be the judge of it whether the underlying disease is bigger than the side effect or not. If it is, then you have to take the action.

When you stay focused like this and act intelligently you are freeing up your mind’s energies that were being decayed in incoherent and silly tasks. Your mind is cluttered like anything, which is in a dire need of rejuvenation.

Start with the biggest problems in life, the problems you have to have to solve and the smaller ones will automatically take care of themselves. If your health is in ruins then stop focusing on why your boss is so grumpy, you have got bigger fish to fry. The bigger the problem, the more energetic you get, and the stronger your focus becomes.

How To Focus On Yourself?

If you are a student, studying in a school or a college, and are wondering how to focus and the power of focus in life, then let me tell you, you don’t wanna miss this article — read it till the end. There is this one major problem in a student’s life.

Choosing the wrong track, consciously or unconsciously

Now, what is the wrong track? From addiction to Cigarettes, Alcohol, Drugs all the way to Social Media, Gaming, TV & Movies. All of this constitutes the wrong track. Now the thing to understand here is that Smartphone is not the problem, our own addiction to it — our not being able to take our eyes off of it — is the issue here.

Addiction to any object, state, person, situation, phase, or experience is the wrong track. Doing anything under the limit is fine. Mobile in itself is a wonderful tool, it all depends on how one utilizes it.

Like a knife in the hand of a surgeon and a knife in the hand of a mugger — the knife remains the same — it all depends on who’s using it and how. One is saving lives, the other is taking them, while the tool remains the same. Tools are good servants but weak masters, so it’s imperative you let them do what they were meant to do. Once you let these tools swap the roles, then that’s where you open the pandora’s box.
