About Attention Span Training Drills & Attention Span Mental Exercises

Mental exercises are effective in improving attention span by challenging the brain to focus and concentrate on specific tasks in unique and challenging ways.

This process helps strengthen, lengthen, and multiply connections between existing brain cells while also cultivaing the creation of new brain cells in a process called Neurogenesis.

Why You Should Train Your Attention Span.

Consistent practice of unique, challenging mental effort can include activities such as:

• Attention Control Mental Exercises and Training Drills
• Mental Concentration Exercises and Training Drills 
• Mental Focus Exercises and Training Drills
• Mindfulness (Moving Meditation) Exercises and Training Drills
• Medically-assigned Cognitive Training (i.e., doctor prescribed to counter a medical problem)
• Attention-training Brain Games*

How to Use Training Drills in Boosting the Span of Your Attention.

Attention is not just about being able to focus without distraction, but requires effective management of different attentional elements, which can be strengthened with purposeful exercise, rest, and recovery. Strengthening attention is comparable to strengthening physical muscles, and mental exercises can help achieve this. For this purpose, we are providing you a boatload of unique, neurogenesis-enhancing practice techniques as follows:

Build Your Attention Training Routine

As with any habit, there are some basic rules you can follow to help make sure you can train with consistency to maximize both the speed and momentum of your progress. This brings to mind a wise instruction taught by Earl Nightgale and Brian Tracy, which is the value of doing a little each day to improve a particular skill. Over time, the sheer mass of knowledge you accumulate by concentrating on that skill can put you among the world's experts. 

We must all start somewhere, though, and the smallest, easiest steps are the best way for you to start your new Attention Span Training lifestyle.

• Start small and build up gradually. Begin with just a few minutes a day and gradually increase the duration over time.
• Prioritize your practice and make it a non-negotiable part of your daily routine.
• Find mental exercise training drills that resonate with you and that you enjoy.
• Break it up, though, with techniques that you don't particularly care for so that you challenge yourself more.
• Create a designated space for your practice that is quiet and free from distractions.
• Use a tracking method to monitor and celebrate your progress.
• Try different times of the day to meditate and find what works best for you.
• If you miss a day, don't beat yourself up. Just get back on track the next day.
• Join a group or community of meditators for support and accountability.
• Experiment with different techniques and teachers to keep your practice fresh and interesting.
• Remember that meditation is a journey and that it's normal to have ups and downs along the way. Stick with it, and you will reap the benefits.

Track Your Attention Span Growth and Performance.

As you do your daily mental exercise training, you can find motivation and quicken your progress by tracking your productivity, efficiency, and gains.

Tracking can be done by hand using paper and pencil or pen in a notebook, using a writing pad.

Additionally, you can monitor your progress by keeping a journal of your daily mental exercises, noting any changes in your memory, concentration, and focus.

You can also do it digitally using a tracking app, goals, app, or habit-building software.

You can also set goals and measure your progress towards them by tracking the time it takes to complete certain exercises or tasks.

Some excellent elements of training to pay attention may include:

• Date of the training session
• Time of the training session
• Duration of the training session (expected, or adjusted afterward)
• Name of the Mental Exercise, Drill, Method, or Task
• Duration of effort in each instant or repetition
• Note any difficulties and any ideas on approaching them in the next session
• Note any good news that you perceive
• Note any helpful personal observations about the experience
  
  Remember to stay consistent with your mental exercises and track your progress regularly to see improvements over time.
