In our hyper-connected world, multitasking is often glorified, but it’s a significant enemy of focus. Train yourself to single-task. When you engage in an activity, give it your undivided attention. If you're reading, turn off notifications on your phone and close unnecessary tabs on your computer. If you're washing dishes, focus on the feel of the water, the texture of the sponge, and the scent of the soap. This practice of mindful attention to one thing at a time strengthens your ability to resist distractions and stay present. Start small, perhaps dedicating 15 minutes to a single task, and gradually increase the duration as your focus improves.
