The question is, what pulls your attention away when you try to focus for more than 10 minutes? For example, if it’s your phone / wanting to browse social media etc., I would highly recommend having times during the day where you have your phone completely off. It can do wonders to require your brain and to be okay living in the moment with just your thoughts. This was by far the hardest thing for me, it was always pulling my attention towards it, I need to be hearing someone talking on a podcast or a show, or be mindlessly browsing Reddit or YouTube, it’s an addiction like anything else. It only starts to get easier once you acknowledge it, address it, and battle it head on.
