      Master Your Focus - I. C. Robledo

      An Introduction to How to Master Your Focus

      What it Means to Lack Focus

      When you don’t have focus, life can feel much more difficult than it needs to be. You may find that without being able to pay attention to something, you won’t remember it. If you don’t remember important things, it becomes even more difficult to be productive, make good choices, or even be responsible. A lack of focus can quickly make your life spiral out of control. You may miss meetings, fail an exam, or even get fired from a good job. Of course, no one wants this.

      There are many reasons you may lose focus. It could be poor sleeping or eating habits. It could be a poor ability to prioritize what is important. You may not have examined your life closely enough to figure out what truly matters to you and is worth focusing on. Another issue is that you may try to take on too much in too little time. Focus has its limits. You can’t force yourself to focus on everything at once. There are many more reasons you could lose your focus, more than I can list. What really matters is that whatever your reason is, it’s possible to work on it and improve your focus.

      I believe most people who lack focus lack it because they haven’t learned the right habits necessary to build it up. If you can’t focus, it’s not because there is anything wrong with you. It is something that you can work on to improve if you were just shown how. You may be surprised at how much progress you can make when you learn to improve your abilities.

      Who Am I?

      I’m someone who has had his share of troubles with staying focused. I always thought there was something wrong with me, and that I was the only person who couldn’t focus. I was completely wrong. It’s a fairly common issue to have. The good thing is it can be improved. To give you an example of how bad my focus used to be, up until high school, I would sit through classes unable to pay attention. Usually I would space out and by the time I realized I had lost focus, the teacher was on another topic and I was lost. When it was time to do homework, I often had no idea where to start. I’d have to go home and try to teach myself from the textbook. It was very inefficient and I failed to improve.

      In college, I decided I needed to take action to improve my focus. The classes were tougher and the professors weren’t interested in hearing any excuses. If I failed to focus, I would simply flunk out. I began to experiment with my schedule, my time management, and generally pushing myself harder to stay focused. I found that I was capable of much more than I thought when I rose to the challenge. This was the point when I began discovering some of the tips which you will read about in this book.

      Since my college years I’ve made it a daily effort to improve my focus. At one time it was difficult for me to concentrate on my work for more than a half hour at a time, but I can now go all day if I allow myself periodic short breaks.

      You might think of focus as a specific muscle in your brain, a big and important one (this is just an analogy). You have to train it to improve it. Someone who wants to improve their fitness hits the gym. If you want to improve your focus, you hit the mental gym. We’ll get to how you can increase your ability to focus more in the third section of this book, ‘How can you train your focus?’.

      I’ve always been interested in doing what I could to improve my mental abilities. It just so happens that focus is something that can be improved with practice. Focus is in fact one of the most important mental abilities you have. Without focus, you won’t remember important things or be able to apply what you learn. Also, it can be quite frustrating to not know how to direct your focus. It can make you feel like you’re on a hamster wheel running in circles. Nobody wants to be in that position.

      I’d like to share a bit more of my background with you before we move on. I used to work as a researcher in a psychology lab. At the time I had to manage course work, read the latest research, conduct my own research, and write articles and book chapters. The stakes were higher there than in college. If I failed to focus I would fail myself and my lab members. I would lose a stipend and a fellowship (my source of income) as well. Ultimately, I was able to bring my focus to a higher level during my time as a researcher. Those hard-earned focus-enhancing techniques that I picked up are in this book.

      I no longer work in research. I’m now an independent author. These days, I feel like I have more structure and focus in my life than if I had a 9-5 job with a boss to direct my attention. I’ve learned to exercise and expand my focus on a daily basis, and you can too. I don’t take it for granted. My experience of needing to prioritize and direct my own focus on a regular basis has provided me with useful tips and tools you can use to improve your focus and accomplish the goals you set for yourself.

      Not only do I have firsthand experience with what it’s like to lack focus and with building up my focus to great levels, but I also have a master’s degree in psychology. Mental abilities are something I take great pleasure from studying. The greatest pleasure of all would be to share what
