Personal developmental skills are like an electrolyte imbalance. If our mental focus gets sidetracked at some level, then everything else may crumble around their feet. Stress will definitely follow these suggestions. If a person maintains their mental focus, they may create a positive environment around their perfect utopia or bailiwick that they have built around themselves. They can maintain stability, competence, integrity, and maintain complete control of their lives and what revolves around it.

      Staying mentally focused and having their developmental skills to maintain their focus is directly proportional to their success level, their enjoyment and life fulfillment.

      If a person stays focused, they will be more effective in everything that they do.

      These are some easy ways to stay mentally focused:

      A person should concentrate on one task at a time

      A person should only focus mentally on just this one particular task

      An individual should become one with this particular task and get into a mental zone

      A person should complete this particular task in which they started before starting another task; Do not multi-task and remove all other distractions if at all possible

      High performance dimensions of a person's mental focus include:

      Become realistic and always have logical thinking

      Have complete mental focusing skills and practice full concentration

      Accrue mental enhancement for processing information

      Always prepare yourself mentally for any good or any bad news if a person can

      Show or mimic self-awareness and know your own reflection so that you never have to ask yourself "Is it truly me?"

      Always manage your time wisely

      A person could use daily planners or schedules to assist with these mental focus and time management projects

      Managing mental focus and time management skills can be tough on a person's health and both their personal life and employment relationships. Some symptoms may include:

      1. Procrastination

      2. Trouble with making any deadlines that may be coming up in the future; and finally

      3. A person's behavior may become somewhat impulsive, such as impulse buying

      There is some light at the end of this very long tunnel however. A person should attempt to improve their daily habitual patterns if at all possible. They need to actually recognize and use all of their strengths that they have available. They could increase their organizational skills at both personal and professional levels if at all humanly possible. They could try to work more efficiently by developing techniques that work for them personally. If the individual always has a positive attitude by "playing nice" and interacting well with other people, whether it be personally or on a more professional level, their stress will decrease, their focus level will be more effective and their tasks or goals will be completed.

      If an individual avoids multi-tasking and always remains mentally focused they will always stay on track with everything that may come their way. A person should complete just one task at a time. They should always remain mentally focused on their priorities so that they may stay alert for longer periods of time. By following these simple mentally focused and time management skills, a person will remain in control of their life and effectively manage their time personally and at their workplace. This is always an awesome feeling that will make a person inhale all of life's hurdles and exhale joy, hope, and happiness and everything else that may enhance a positive reaction! Everyone will notice both the mental focus and time management transformations.

      CHAPTER 8- IMPROVE MENTAL FOCUS- THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSISTENCY

      In order to improve your mental focus, you have to develop a plan that allows you to increase your ability to focus using consistency. Once you make the commitment to yourself, you can begin the routine. You will notice that your brain and your body begin to respond according to your plan, spontaneously. This is not a short- term promise to self; it’s a lifestyle.

      The key to developing and maintaining consistency are the results produced from doing the particular routine. It doesn’t happen overnight and there will be times when discouraging thoughts will win over the positive ones. These interruptions are momentary. You have the ability to regain and return to the plan with the same commitment to consistency which continues to help you reach your goal. You should start with developing a routine that is realistic to your goals. Create a technique such as taking time out each day to remind yourself of the desired goal and why you should persist.

      Some considerations to confirm and justify the purpose of consistency are the impact that these actions produce and how they positively affect your mental focus and physical health. You need to start slowly building up to higher levels of mental focus that improve your concentration abilities along the way. As you challenge even higher levels of mental focus proficiency, the results will become clear to you. Following a routine helps to reduce the stress that is typically self-inflicted when you are just beginning a routine. Keep in mind that at a particular phase within the routine your body will begin to adjust its focus. You need to understand the value of consistency and recognize that the task or challenge was accomplished and completed without becoming a threat to your plan.
