Poor Concentration

Factors that may cause Poor Concentration
Lack of concentration is one of the frequent complaints among students. Distraction is a major cause of poor concentration.

Some of the common external distractions are:

Noise, conversations,
inappropriate furniture, inadequate lighting,
interruption from other people, telephone,
Television,Work: paid or unpaid; housework
The Internet, e-mail

Some of the common internal distractions are:

Hunger, tiredness, illness,
Lack of motivation, boredom, lack of interest,
Personal worries, stress, anxiety,
Negative thinking,Daydreaming,
Lack of organisation, dyslexia

When people say that they can't concentrate, it usually means that they cannot stay focussed on one thing for as long as they would like. Most of us experience lapses in concentration every day.

We are not usually concerned about it; we may not even notice these lapses in concentration. They only become a problem when we find that we cannot get things done as quickly as we would like, or when they cause us to make mistakes.

You do not concentrate when you allow your environment to distract you, and/or your thoughts and feelings to interrupt you.Your thoughts are scattered; your mind jumps from one thing to another like a monkey.

It helps to learn and to practise concentration strategies, to harness your monkey mind, so that it works at your will.If you know the causes of your poor concentration, you can learn to control these factors.
