Four things you can do to increase your daily focus using the “Your-Body-is-a-Machine” approach.
1) Take care of your eyes. When your eyes get tired, it requires more brain power to focus.
- Use your ‘Night-Light’ feature on your devices
- Have good light in your work space by using sunlight through a window or LED lights.
2) Greatly limit your reading of the news. Constant bad news and rage-reporting wear you down and reduce your ability to concentrate.
3) Taking care of your body keeps up focus and will-power.
- Exercise…get your body moving.
- Eat right…food is your fuel to your body. Garbage in- Garbage out.
- Sleep…a study found that lack of sleep decrease cognitive ability, but not memory or verbal skills. As business owners, we need all the cognitive ability we can get.
- Sleep and IQ study: “The Link Between Sleep and Intelligence Goes Deeper Than We Thought”
4) Put aside time for meditation and scripture reading to reduce stress, and increases personal productivity.
