Getting into the Zone
Hey, I am a current student in undergrad looking to improve my focus skill. I have found that changing small things throughout your day can have an immense change in your productivity. I am seeking for ways, things and/or habits I can implement to focus more and have more time to do the things I enjoy doing. The list below are the things I currently do to help me stay laser focus throughout the day.
-8 hours of sleep everyday at same time(More if I sleep in later in the night)
-ALOT of carbs and adequate protein in each meal throughout the day ( 3 meals)
-Stress management(listening to songs or studying with friends)
-Walking stairs or light jogs between study sessions IF i feel tired
-Changing rooms occasionally if I start to loose focus even after all the criteria above are met
Aside for the list I have given above, is there anything else I could add to improve my focus or get into the zone consistently? I have noticed a few people around me can who can effortlessly get into the zone and are ALOT more focused and Alert than I am. They can complete assignments, lab reports or comprehend complex topics in less time than I can because they can pickup the small details and thoroughly understand what is being asked of them. I know I shouldn't compare myself to other people and should only focus on me and what I can do but I feel like these are valuable skills that help IMMENSLY as you transition into the corporate world where results, achievements and productivity is valuable. People respect you more, talk to you more, interact with you more--people want to around smart people. If you have ANY advice on how I can improve focus and get into the zone more consistently, PLEASE let me know. I am open to any suggestion whether that being from a books, articles, or podcast
