After doing these brain exercises a few times, you'll find it becomes easier to recognise what is just below surface, irritating you and sapping your brain power and concentration. Do what works for you to set these mind irritations aside, and you will think more clearly.

Why Do You Want To Concentrate?

Here's a simple technique. Just honestly answer above question. Often it's difficult to concentrate because you're bored. The cure for this is to stop and consider why it is important (if it is). See benefits clearly, and it will be easier to focus your mind. So why do you want to concentrate?

Remove Obvious Distractions

Stephen King happily writes with loud music on, so what distracts each of us, or doesn't, is obviously personal and somewhat unique. Whatever it is that takes your mind away from task at hand, do something about it. Turn off television, feed your empty stomach, or turn your desk away from window.

Take care of external and internal distractions, and you'll be able to focus your attention and brain power like a spotlight. That's worth a little effort, isn't it?
