Being able to focus helps us succeed. Whether it’s focusing inward and attuning ourselves to our intuitions and values, or outward and navigating the world around us, honing our attention is a valuable asset. When we can’t focus at work because of distractions, it may lead us to feel stressed about not being productive, which then causes us to focus less, further feeding the cycle. Unfortunately, most of us don’t notice our focus declining until we become completely overwhelmed.
