Concentration and learning environment
In short: Concentration can be improved by a quiet environment, fixed times and good breaks. Distractions such as smartphones and notifications are the greatest enemies.
In more detail: After an interruption the brain often needs many minutes to get deeply back in (aufmerksamkeit-und-multitasking).
In detail
- Workplace: Tidy, good light, comfortable chair (beleuchtung-in-der-wohnung-planen).
- Phone: Out of the room or in flight mode.
- Time blocks: 25 to 50 minutes focused, then a break (zeitmanagement-pomodoro-eisenhower-und-priorisieren).
- Goals: One clear goal per block.
- Breaks: Movement, fresh air, water; not on social media.
- Sleep and exercise: Both strengthen concentration (schlafhygiene-besser-schlafen).
- Music: Instrumental or silence, lyrics distract (musik-und-gehirn).
- Flow: Suitable difficulty helps immersion (flow-erleben).
