It is unnecessary to say that absent-mindedness greatly interferes with a person's life. It can bring a lot of trouble in everyday life and even more - at work, where a clear implementation of the tasks and goals is required. One of its main causes is considered hereditary characteristics and improper upbringing in childhood. But this is a property that can and should be fought.
Instruction manual
one
When starting any work, try to create appropriate conditions for this: extraneous conversations, music, noise, etc. should not distract you from it. Organize your workplace so that you do not have to search for the necessary things.
2
If fatigue occurs, try to take a short break from work: do some physical exercises, turn your attention to some other object - look in the mirror, out the window, close your eyes, put things in order on a shelf or in a drawer, etc. Take a few deep breaths to increase the flow of oxygen into the brain - your work efficiency will only increase.
3
Not all work is done with pleasure. And if you resist it at a subconscious level, a consequence of this may also be a lack of concentration. So, either change the work, or set specific goals, motivate it and control the process of implementation.
4
Do not rush to speak out and do not let emotions go while you are listening to what is being said. Always try to grasp the meaning of the incoming information. It may be worthwhile to formulate and ask clarifying questions so that you are aware of everything you hear.
5
Develop a habit of focusing. To do this, you must constantly monitor so that thoughts do not "slip" onto extraneous things. Pull yourself and get back to what's really important.
6
In order not to forget to do something, try to write down the most important tasks in a notebook and monitor their implementation. It’s good to buy special Velcro leaflets: write down what you need on them and stick them in a conspicuous place, and after this is done, throw them away.
7
Try to bring some actions to automatism. So, for example, if you are constantly looking for where you put your flash drive, documents, etc., select a specific place for these items and develop the habit of putting them there constantly. After some time, your actions will become automatic.
eight
Often absent-mindedness increases as a result of overwork. In this case, other symptoms of fatigue usually appear, for example, insomnia, nervous breakdowns, a constant feeling of anxiety. If you find yourself with such signs, first normalize your daily routine - allocate time not only for work, but also for relaxation. Get down to serious business after a thorough rest.
9
To get rid of distraction, plan daily outdoor walks, exercise, or light jogging. In the mornings, try to stretch your shoulder and neck muscles more.
ten
Find special exercises in books or on the Internet that help develop mindfulness and concentration. Play logic games and computer games that require mindfulness. Train your memory. To do this, learn, read and learn something.
