Focused Attention for Learning and Happiness

Direct your attention fully to the task or skill you are actively trying to learn, and keep returning to it when your mind wanders. Feeling agitation, frustration, or challenge is not a sign to stop; it often means you are in the neural state where learning is happening. This kind of sustained attention can also reduce mind-wandering, which is linked with lower happiness.

1 / 4

the ideal protocol would be focus on the thing you're trying to learn very intensely. Still try and get excellent sleep.
