How to Quickly Improve Focus - Andrew Huberman

[@hubermanlab]

Always a pleasure to collaborate with After Skool to share science and health protocols. Thank you for the collaboration!

How many cones of attention do we have available to provide to tasks on a given day or in a single moment? And how can the dilation of time between sleep and blinking be related -- do we take microsleeps when we blink?

[@bradlesc1000]

Oya I definitely have a bit of ADHD which is weird because I was an extremely focused child. I can still focus on things I enjoy really well but I can't seem to focus on my school work. Big fan.... inhale sniff exhale, inhale sniff exhale, inhale sniff exhale. Focused... or emotions under control at least.

[@thejoelrooganexplosion2400]

[@DanDascalescu-dandv]

SUMMARY (by me, AI-free): * mental focus is linked to visual focus * focus for 60-120 seconds on a very small region in front of you, e.g. a window on your screen * the finer the visual image, and the more you can focus on it, the better your mental focus will be * to focus auditory attention, close your eyes * the typical learning bout should be 90 minutes (ultradian cycle chart @ 18:37) * put the phone out of sight * use your alert hours for useful activities, not for scrolling social media or watching TV The rest of the video is interesting, but less actionable, except for what not to do: * Adderall doesn't improve focus, it improves alertness * people have given themselves ADHD by using smartphones and watching videos instead of reading

I totally needed to hear the part when he says " Don't give up that period of time (when you're most alert) for things that are meaningless, useless or not aligned with your goals." That makes so much sense for me when it comes to focus while working remotely. Thank you Dr. Huberman and After Skool. Shout out to the awesome Lefty Artist of this channel!

[@cabelodefogouk]

One of the most powerful tips I ever read which I employ regularly: when starting a new project, write the words "THIS IS FOCUS" in very large letters at the top of the page. Continue to write it, cascading down the page, making the letters smaller and smaller until you can't write them any longer. Exactly the same principle.

[@tole3590]

how is it exactly the same lil bro

[@That_Freedom_Guy]

"Your attention is your most valuable asset. Dont waste it on things that are not aligned with your goals". Yes, definitely. Your attention is the most valuable thing to others as well. If they can convince you that your goals are aligned with giving them all your attention, then that seems rational and is what we will do. Salespeople call it "Closing the deal".

[@Eng0926]

Reading for about 30 minutes (in the morning) of some historical or philosophical texts helps me to stay focused throughout a day. And I am structural engineer. I learned about it about a year ago and assumed that it is just "repeating coincidence"! 😅

[@AugustineLuisa]

There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.

[@olgaschell1668]

there is no such book

[@ronniehattingh9990]

The visual focus practice feels very similar to my favourite way of entering a focused mindset, which is a counting breaths meditation where you count each in and out breath while remaining aware of the movements of your breath in the body. You check in with your brain frequently to be aware of what your attention is on, if it’s wandered from your breath then you restart the count. From doing this I start at not being able to focus on it for even 3 seconds and get to 30seconds or longer and afterward focussing on something is so much easier. I believe becoming relaxed is also tied to improved focus (just not too relaxed too the point of sleepiness). ❤

9:40 This is absolutely true. I actually turn my ear toward the person I'm listening to. It does wonders for focusing on speech.

[@jayrossxo]

This was informative. I've always had a strong sense of focus. I remember as I kid I could focus on something so intently, without blinking my mom would think it was creepy and would break my attention. I think I had a problem with focusing too much, I wouldn't sleep, eat or use the bathroom if I was focused on a project, work, homework assignments, or learning a new skill. However, over-focusing can make it hard for you to see the bigger picture or like me, neglect my basic needs. I would get burnt out, overwhelmed and exhausted yet, I won't take breaks which led to other issues as well. I had to learn to take breaks in between which was hard but, once I saw how I was able to perform even better when I gave myself time to breathe, I had to enforce them to have a better balance in my life.

[@ashrkvch]

Note to self: RULE: Mental focus follows visual 1.Behavioral practices are the best for enhancing focus & concentration. 2. Mental focus is anchored to our gaze's direction, thus focused gaze can stimulate mental concentration 3. Less often blinking might help to concentrate better. 4. If studying via audio sources, closed eyes are OK. (closed eyes = ↓distraction, ↑auditory attention, e.g. blind people, musicians) 5. Smartphone is an machine designed to grab & hold your attention for as long as possible, be aware 6. Motion pictures are good for entertainment, not for focus & deep learning 7. The more challenging the information source the better it is for the focus training (books vs simplified insta reel) 8. Focus for transformation rather than information (long lasting & boring sessions of deep work will give you more) 9. 90 min bouts of learning/work with 5-10 min warm-up, ~60 min of pure concentration and 10-20 min of loose focus peaks should work 10. Eliminate distractions prior to your working/learning bout 11. Don't be scared of attention drifts, just return and re-anchor your attention to the task, like muscles this "mental muscle of re-anchoring" can be trained 12. We have only 24 hours each day, so know when you are the most alert to enhance your efforts (usually, during early parts of the day people are more alert) 13. Hydrate your body, have a good night sleep (around 8h), use appropriate sources & amounts of caffeine 14. All day focus is an impossible task for most of us, use 90 min focus (ultradian) cycles during the day and reserve some time for other deliberate disengagement activities (physical exercises, social interactions etc.) 15. Like any skill attention can be learned & perfected, just keep going Thanks for sharing this content with us for absolute zero-cost, you are amazing human begins!

KZbin is so so good at leveraging this. Why can you skip it in 5 seconds? Because that's all they need. If your focusing, and that pops in when you don't anticipate it, and it burns a hole in your brain. Literally started typing this after a commercial because I lost focus and feel that image from the commercial burned in my eyeballs and creating agitation, not learning. Should be common knowledge that this is bad for everyone.

[@mocons2214]

Wow! Thank you for the information. When I hear people speak to me I have to be close so I can hear their words and focus on what they are saying. It takes a lot of concentration, and if course losing hearing is challenging. On top of this trying to learn another language, and understand what is being said. I get so tired at the end of the day, I quickly fall asleep.

[@Bencrzn]

I used to use the visual focus training while meditating, however instead of actually focusing on something you can visually see it was an object I'd create in my mind with eyes closed. It's crazy when you see how little control you have over yourself when you begin the battle of self control over constant stimulation. It's well worth it though to actually overcome yourself for an entire day without temptation leading you back to distraction.

[@cvdinjapan7935]

One time I had a dream where I could see everything in perfect clarity. Everything looked focused all at the same time. It was like high definition everything. It was unreal. I couldn't "focus" because I just naturally could see everything perfectly. I could only experience that in a dream where my eyes weren't real, but thanks to the dream I know exactly what it feels like to see everything "in focus."

[@basiltregenza8473]

Same. Maybe it's a non-judgement thing, maybe a trust thing, maybe it's just a higher sense of knowing. Maybe it's affected by unknown exposure to a peripheral drug, possibly from someone else in the vicinity. I can't explain why or how just what and you describe it well.

This is possibly physically in this reality too with DMT and Ayahuasca. Seeing the big picture and the death of I

[@cvdinjapan7935]

@@Metalgear222 I have no experience with any drugs. I don't even take aspirin, but right before viewing your comment, I was watching a video where one of my favorite magicians was saying that ayahuasca made him feel like a child again, like magic was real and he had fantastic powers like time travel and so on. In my dream, I didn't feel like a child, and the experience of seeing everything in focus felt perfectly natural. Still, I was struck by the concept that our brains are capable of processing much more information than the physical limitations of our eyes. That said, I didn't feel interconnected with the rest of the world in the dream. My sense of "I" was still completely present, not dead at all. Be that as it may, I do believe we are all interconnected, but it's more of a rational decision based on personal reflection, rather than a chemically-induced epiphany. Outside of my dreams, I have a lot of love for the world. Even for others I've never met, or who do horrible things, or wish ill upon me, I love them like a parent loves a child, unconditionally, even when they disappoint or upset me.

[@user-gu9yq5sj7c]

3:06 A benefit of only being able to focus well on one thing at a time is you can use that to take your focus off negative things by focusing on positive things. 9:57 Looking at people's body language or some visual that matches the audio helps me to listen and focus more. I don't like looking at people in real life tho cause it's uncomfortable. But closing the eyes can help some people do some activities like singing, playing instruments, or dancing, etc.

[@Entelekhein]

I close my eyes when I share deeper thoughts. I have aphantasia from birth and so I make the outside the inside (veiled, a curtain which translates the images I know exist into ideation and conception), which helps me to allow my unconscious mind to more easily bridge the gap to the conscious. I rarely actively think ahead, like even as I write this. My conscious mind isn't controlling the flow of what I'm writing, it's just perceiving it and fixing grammatical or spelling errors as I'm writing, acting as the analyzer which provides for the subconscious to flow along the course I'm trying to project. It's a really weird state of consciousness and I figured it out independently by questioning my experience, then found aphantasia when it was still fairly obscure in 2013-2015 or so.

It is really troubling but I will admit there is also something attractive about just sitting back and constantly reading, watching some mindless videos but mostly videos on how this works, how to do that, etc... instructional and informative stuff so worth my time???

In middle school, I had an enlightened Spanish teacher who allowed me to put my head down on my desk and listen intently in a state of being half-asleep.

I have adhd that is medically considered disabling, but I find that its much more manageable when I view tasks as self-care and growth than something I am forcing myself to do. I also find that quick forms of short clips of media like toktoks and reels and shorts are very consuming, so i just started avoiding them and only watching long videos or movies or shows if I want some low effort entertainment. I was honestly not suprised when he said adhd meds just increase alterness, because while mine help me become alert and willing to do things, the actual time I can focus is something I have to work on daily and train. Sleep, food, ect also affect it a lot more than some may think. Unmet physical needs leads to mental and emotional dysregulation.
