We’ve all had those days where our brain just won’t stop. The thoughts are flying around and it’s hard to focus on anything at all. Whether you’re facing a big deadline, having trouble concentrating in a loud office, or trying to get through an afternoon of work with your toddler running around: there are times when we need more of a boost than usual to focus.

5. Help me to be focused as I try and master new material.
God, you are my focus. Help me to be focused as I try and master new material. Help me to focus on one thing at a time and not try to do too much at once. You know how easily distracted I can be so please help me keep my mind on what is important while working through this project. If there is something else that needs taken care of either get someone else who can do it or take care of it yourself but give yourself the opportunity to finish this task before moving on to anything new. I trust that you will guide me through this process so let’s get started!

Help me know what to do, when, and how so that I can get it done quickly without any wasted time or effort. Thank you for helping me accomplish my goals!

Closing
If you’re looking for ways to improve your focus, start by making sure you don’t have anything that could distract you. Turn off notifications on your phone and laptop, place them in another room when possible, or at least shut out all distractions by wearing headphones if necessary. Also, consider avoiding caffeine until after noon because it may make it harder for some people to concentrate later in the day.
