How's Your Focus?

10/2/2014

Isn't it amazing how our brains work? They can focus so strongly on one thing that other things can slip by unnoticed. The question then becomes, what is your brain focussing on? When you're at school, at home, sports, drama, or other activities, are you able to give your full focus to that activity? Sometimes, our brain is so full and cluttered with other things that we don't focus on the things that really matter. In the comments below, I want you to write a plan for yourself that is going to help you focus on what really matters. Write down 3 things that really matter to you and how you're going to try to give them the focus they need.

There are three things I need to focus harder on. The first thing is math. The reason I chose math is because I don't want to fall behind. The second thing is writing because I have trouble thinking of ideas when I write. Finally, I need to focus on using my time wisely because I don't want to hand in assignments late.

Here are the three things i need to focus on,

1.Math---- I chose this because math is very helpful i is used in everything.
2.Science/health/Technology---- I chose this because you need to know it in the future
3.Language---- I chose this because writing will be rare in the future.

1. I think that I need to focus in class, like not daydreaming or not listening.
2. I think that I also need to focus on planning my homework so that I could get my homework in on time.
3. Finally I think that I should focus on my daily schedule, like keep track of when I need to go biking or when I need to shower.

~Language because I want to get better at it and one day write a book

1. Computer programming, because that is a passion in my life, Im gonna achieve that by focussing more and get away from distractions and find ways that wont work and find ways that do.
2. Math, because in life almost everything that you do well most jobs use Math like computer programming to, I'm gonna achieve my goal studying the things that I don't understand
3. Sports because I want to stay fit and be healthy, I'm gonna focus on it by training if I want to move along and don't let anyone discourage me.

1. I would like to focus more on doing my homework on time
2. I would like to focus more on homework in class and get it done in class not at home
3. The last thing I would like to focus on is to practice math at home.

I need to focus on one thing at a time. In a typical day my mind is racing through thoughts and I can't seem to focus on one thing. If I'm doing math I'm thinking about soccer or recess or really anything that I am excited or worried about. I know you have to write three things down but this can go into so many different catagories.

1. My family is really important to me, so I will be spending as much time together with them as I can.

2. Being healthy is important to me, so I will focus on water polo and soccer in order to be active. I will also try to eat healthier.

3. I will continue to work hard on schoolwork as education is also very important to me.

- Try to think about what we're doing in the class instead of what i'm thinking about in my head
- I usually think of things that need to be rushed. (E.G- Homework/I haven't been rushed on that/ forgetting to do something.)
-During piano i must focus! "Oh look there's a bird outside (O.O)" *starts day dreaming*
BTW I saw the gorilla in the corner of my eye 0.o

I want to focus more on listening to presentations and try not to get too deep in my drawings.
I want to focus on remembering things my mom has to remind me to do everyday like making my bed.
I do not like division and I try not to think about it, so I guess I need to focus more on division lessons.

1. Math,because it can be helpful in the future for your job,counting how many cookies each person gets,etc.

2. Technology,because our future is going to have a lot of jobs for it and we now depend on our tech.(You don't really see anybody walking without a electronic.)

3. Language,because if we don't know how to properly speak or write,it can be hard to communicate with others.

-French focus more on what the teacher says
-Math to make sure I don't rush through and ask for help
-Drama so I don't fool around with a lot of people at the start of class

I counted 13 passes and yes I saw the gorilla and the three things I need to focus on is...
1. not talking during a lesson
2. I need to work on thinking before I speak
3. and setting my mind to one thing and then when I'm done set it to something else!
