Holden Buckner on Staying Focused

Lack of focus is an increasingly dangerous phenomenon in 21st century American society. With a drastic increase in distractions and time-wasters, more and more people are being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD. But is ADD really affecting more people today than it has in the past, or are we just unaware of how to properly focus on our day-to-day activities? Holden Buckner doesn’t know the answer for sure, but he does have a few tips on how to better stay focused throughout the day. By tackling your lack of focus issue, Holden Buckner believes you can begin to regain control over your life. •        Be Organized -- Holden Buckner finds organization to be one of the biggest keys to a focused life. A lot of our lack of focus revolves around our inability to remember what we are supposed to be doing from one minute to the next. Holden Buckner keeps a daily, weekly and monthly organizer around to physically write down his obligations and duties. This frees him up to focus on the task at hand without worrying about forgetting the next one. •        Take Breaks – You don’t have to be doing something with every minute of the day. It is okay to take breaks. And by breaks, Holden Buckner means doing nothing for a few minutes. Don’t feel like you have to fill your break time with texting, checking social media, reading, or even talking. Sometimes it is okay to just sit down and do nothing. Holden Buckner jokingly advises you to not let this turn in to a nap though. •        Develop Goals -- Holden Buckner likes to set clear-cut goals for himself. This allows him to focus on an ending point and not aimlessly wander. Set goals and you will likely be surprised at how it motivates you to accomplish the tasks you have before you.
