Talking Points:
- Steps to keeping your focus:
- Step #1: Pay attention! Don’t let your mind wander to think about other things. Close your eyes and think only about the one thing you need to get done.
- Step #2: Stay interested. Even if it’s boring, find a way to make it interesting!
- Step #3: Take a break. No one can focus forever so give your brain a break every so often so you don’t give up and lose focus.
