Focus and Attention Strategies
Improve Focus
 
Looking Into Inattention and Impulsivity
  
Prescriptions
 

1.  Develop and Maintain Clear Focus (The One-Page Miracle)

What do I want for my life? 
Relationships
Work (To be the best that I can be)
Money
Myself (To be the healthiest person I can be)


2.  FOCUS on WHAT YOU LIKE a Lot More than What You DON'T LIKE
 
3.  Have MEANING and EXCITEMENT in Your Life

4.  Get ORGANIZED; get HELP when you need it

5.  Don't Be Another Person's STIMULANT

Don't yell.

The more his/her voice goes up, the more your voice should go down.

If you feel the situation starting to get out of control, take a break. 

Use Humor to defuse the situation (not sarcasm or angry humor).

Be a good listener.

Say you want to understand and work on the situation, but you can do this only when things calm down. 

6.  Try MOZART for FOCUS

7.  Watch Your Prefrontal Cortex Nutrition
