Cannot Focus? Here are 4 possible reasons behind it
The key to complete any work or task on time and successfully is through focus.
There are times when we are quite experienced in our line of work and are aware of the tasks we must do, however, due to lack of focus, we fail to complete it efficiently.
Right focus helps you put your best foot forward. There is a huge difference between the work that you complete with focus and that which you finish mindlessly.
Not being able to focus, despite trying your best can reduce your productivity, pile on work and can leave you frustrated.
In such cases, it becomes extremely important to find out the reasons behind your inability to concentrate. Once you know the reason, it becomes easy to bring back your focus.
Here are four common reasons why you may be unable to focus:
Lack of sleep
The pandemic has changed our routine totally, including our sleep patterns. Sometimes too much workload can also mess with your sleep.
The thing is when you do not sleep enough, your brain is unable to rest.
Without rest, your brain cannot function in its full capacity, which can lead to some visible symptoms like fatigue and restlessness.
It can also affect our ability to focus and thus lead to reduced productivity.
You are multitasking
Multitasking is nothing uncommon. In fact, the work from home culture has made multitasking the need of the hour.
But when we do so, our mental energy gets divided. This makes it difficult for us to prioritise, leading to the issue of fractured concentration.
Because we are unable to dedicate our full attention to one thing, it leads to delay in the completion of all the tasks.
You can make a planner, write down the tasks for the day to help you manage better.

Distracting environment
From your favourite TV show being aired on the screen to your phone buzzing every five minutes, any of such ambience can be distracting.
If such is the case, no matter how hard you try, you cannot focus because there is something disturbing you constantly.
Create a space that is free from any kind of distraction. You can invest in a good study table and chair to help you create that office environment.
Underlying mental health issues
If you tried everything from sitting in the right ambience to focusing on one thing at a time and nothing is working, it means there is something more serious.
If your lack of focus is accompanied by other factors like fear, depression, mood changes and negative emotions, you must visit a doctor.
Do not let the stigma attached to mental health issues stop you from going to a doctor.
Once you start working on your mental health, you will see your focus improving.
