Recently, a lot of books have appeared on the struggle against procrastination, ways of self-control and concentration of attention. "Maximum concentration" from Lucy Jo Palladino - one of the novelties on this subject. The author comes to the question of concentration a little differently, using the experience of athletes and based primarily on managing the physical condition - the level of adrenaline.
The book describes 8 basic strategies for acquiring concentration:
- Self-awareness - the ability to look at the situation from the outside, develop the skill of self-control
- Change state - the methodology for determining the current state and transition to what is necessary to perform the current task
- The fight against procrastination - methods to combat the constant desire to postpone business for later.
- Suppression of anxiety is the use of substitution of negative thoughts, awareness of reality and the creation of a plan.
- Control of tension - the ability to detect the cause of tension and eliminate it
- Self - motivation - how to maintain the necessary motivation to achieve the goal, even if it is a boring or routine job
- Following the course is the ability to maintain an inner dialogue and train the brain to maintain the necessary level of concentration.
- Good habits - how to live without the surplus of unnecessary information, enlist the support of friends and the tranquility in life
Those people who have not previously read such literature will be very interesting. Unfortunately, for those who are already tempted in such subjects, the book will seem slightly boring because there is a lot of such information in other literature.
