Regaining your Focus
For those who suffer from serious, chronic focusing difficulties, those modifications may include working with a mental-health clinician and/or taking medication or even for people who encounter occasional concentration problems to make adjustments on their own.
The most important adjustment is to remove the device. When you need focus, put that device somewhere else," he says. Research suggests that simply having a phone within eyesight can make it hard to concentrate, and a single notification can ruin concentration even when your phone is turned facedown.
Put your phone in another room while you work on a big project. It's also worthwhile to learn how to concentrate while around screens, a process that is mostly a matter of muscle memory. If you are constantly checking your phone, you can build a habit of not looking at it all the time. You will become more focused if you deliberately ignore it over the course of weeks and months.
