I'm a person who was unable to watch this video until the end due to lack of focus.

I have the same problem, I constantly think about various things and can't concentrate

i cant focus...my mind keeps daydreaming about things

[oualidmazzouz]

To my mind, practicing sport regularly, reading books daily, playing games that requires attention, drinking enough water, sleeping 6 or 7 hours per day, and living in the present without is going to help you and me to stay alert, and more focused than before .

Sleep has huge effects on overall health! Good thing making that #1

[AkshayKumar-qmzp]

Due to lack of focus and feeling sleepy now, I am thinking that I should focus on this video tomorrow, so that I can focus on this video properly and gain knowledge on how to focus

[cheekymonkeygirl]

Lack of sleep and stress are the main cause of distraction for me. My mind wanders around too much and I can only complete a few pages.😔

[starz]

You must have enough sleep.

Me: *watches at 3am* okay. I must sleep now then😂

[Renaxelo]

I couldn't focus for a long time and I realized I had to train this brain

Sleep also plays a major role in our health. A person who sleeps well stays active the whole day.

Brain Dose: Not getting enough sleep
Me: Closes YouTube and go to sleep

[cozakokotano]

Such a great piece of information, you literally summarized all the issues of difficulty of focusing in a small video, must've been a great effort that you've put in the video, you're a great person and a good man, thank you.

[abdulaisbah]

I had a hard time concentrating when I lived in a noisy neighborhood because of lack of proper sleep. Now things are much better when I moved out. Thanks Brainy Dose!

[youneskasdi]

Lol this feels like a list of all the problems i'm currently having, no wonder i couldn't focus on anything

[pomii_sukii]

Out of all the videos that i have watched that had a similar topic like this. This one was the most informative and relatable discussions on how i wasn't able to focus. This made me realize how i was so restless, irritable and even more stressed recently-- addition with not being able to focus it affects everything around me, specially the mental health. This made me realize how i was so depressed more than usual. I just happened to stumble on this video but it made me also realized that you're right. Knowing the cause as immediate as possible can also help me so i can come up with solution and move forward.

[pattycakes]

I love the part about problem solving and having a plan....this explains a lot for me.

[tharshanajeyaseelan]

I am a student but I think most of the things said in this video would help me. I found out that I am human to and I was doing wrong things like sleeping late for my phone and not even noticing! Now I found it out that is the biggest problem, and I knew it but didn't come in mind. I hope that starting to really take care of myself can help

[markdillard]

It’s sad that I was 3 minutes in to the video and realized I hadn’t focused on a word he had said
