The ability to stay concentrated on what you’re doing and ignore distractions counts among the most basic skills in anyone’s mental toolbox. The more focused we are,the more successful we can be at whatever we do. And,conversely,the more distracted, the less well we do. This applies across the board: sports, school, career.It takes mindfulness—an active attention to notice that your mind has drifted,and a mental effort to end that reverie and go back to the breath. 1) Bring your focus to your breath. 2) Notice that your mind has wandered off. 3) Disengage from that train of thought. 4) Bring your focus back to your breath and hold it there. But this mental workout, if done with regularity and persistence, will make it easier to keep your focus where you need it to be. And that will help you put off checking that message until later,so you can get that report done now.
