Advice and guidance about concentration

Minimise distractions by silencing unnecessary notifications, tidying your workspace, and letting others know when you need uninterrupted time.

Ensure you’re taking healthy steps to improve your focus naturally such as getting plenty of sleep, eating nutritious meals, and making time to exercise and move your body to boost mood.

Learning how to focus your attention away from distractions and stress as an everyday practice can be helpful for improving concentration when you need it. Even a few minutes of daily mindfulness or breathing exercises can help you train your attention and reduce mental clutter.

When everything feels urgent, it’s easy to become scattered. Write down your top three priorities for the day and focus on completing those first.

If you’re struggling to focus or feel fatigues by a task, sometimes trying to push through can make it worse. Where possible, step away for a few minutes to stretch or look out of a window or take a short walk to clear your mind.
