Summary: How to improve your focus

Query: I’m working on a story for Real Simple about how to improve your focus and I’m looking for MDs or PhDs (with neuroscience experience, ideally) to answer the following questions via email. Please respond directly to the email with your answers; requests for phone interviews or basic introductions won’t be considered. Please include detailed responses and rephrase questions for stronger quotes. Thanks!

  1. What are some of the most effective, actionable and natural strategies/habits to help improve your ability to focus and concrete?
  2. What should people avoid for better focus?
  3. What are some tricks for getting into that “flow” or “focused” headspace? Is it possible to become better at getting into it and staying there?
  4. Does improving your focus rely more on limiting external distractions or working on internal motivation and mindset? Or, is it a balance of both?

Requirements: Must be a MD or PhD
