Reasons Why You Can’t Concentrate

We all have trouble concentrating sometimes, but some of us have more trouble than others. Here are some things that may be causing your lack of concentration.

Digital distractions

Distractions are everywhere, and now thanks to smartphones, we can be easily distracted anywhere we take our phone. Which for most of us, is probably everywhere. So how do we get rid of the digital distraction without throwing out our phones or computers?

It’s simple, all you have to do is schedule your day. Set aside blocks of time for certain tasks you have to do. During that time, put your phone in a different room or turn off your notifications so you won’t be tempted to look at it every time it chimes. For a lot of my projects, I have to use my laptop, which has become a source of distraction. I have made it a rule that I only open one browser page at a time. This helps keep me focused on one task and cut’s down on web browsing.

You Daydream

I do a lot of daydreaming, and it can be easy to lose focus and concentration when your mind is always dreaming about something else. Daydreaming isn’t necessarily a bad thing as long as you aren’t doing it when you’re supposed to be working.
