IMPROVING YOUR
CONCENTRATION
Importance of concentration to produce result at work
“I can't
concentrate."
"My mind
wanders when I
try to work."
Many experienced this...
Nearly 50 percent of
American employees said
they only work for 15
minutes before becoming
distracted. 53 percent
reported wasting an hour
or more a day because of
disruptions.

STUDY
One hour per day translates into
$10,375 of wasted productivity per
person annually, assuming an
average salary of $30/hour.
That is more than the average U.S.
driver will spend this year to own
and maintain a car. For businesses
with 1,000 employees, the cost of
employee interruptions exceeds $10
million per year

Nearly 60% of work
interruptions now involve
either using tools like email,
social networks, text
messaging and IM, or
switching windows among
disparate standalone tools
and applications

Concentration is the ability to direct one's
thinking in whatever direction one would intend
Light Concentration
First sit down to study and continues throughout the first 5 minutes of study
Just getting settled into your reading, listening, or studying
In this level students may be easily distracted
Little is achieved during this stage
Very little learning actually occurs
Moderate Concentration
After about 5 minutes of studying
Begins paying attention to material that is being read, heard, or studied
Not as easily distracted
Begin to focus only on the material and external distractions are ignored
Some learning occurs in this stage
Deep Concentration
Begin thinking only about what you are hearing, writing, or reading
Totally consumed in material
Learn the most material while in deep concentration
Complete more work in less time and are working most effectively
6 hats' or 'the six hats of thinking',
these techniques focus on enhancing
the structure of thinking
Each thinking role is identified with a colored symbolic "thinking hat." By mentally wearing and
switching "hats," you can easily focus or redirect thoughts
Ways to
concentrate better
Control of your thoughts.
Gain inner peace.
Free your mind from annoying thoughts.
Improve your memory.
Improve your ability to study.
Focus and conserve your energies.
Work more efficiently.
Improve meditation.
Strengthen your intuition
