Attention span is of great importance when working with an ever-changing school and environment. With the constant change of policies, procedures, standards, and job duties, one has to continuously stay the course, while managing to juggle work and family life. I have provided a few simple ways to improve attention span.

1.     Create a to-do list that includes a time line. Ensure that these tasks are within your means to complete. In other words, don’t place more on your plate than you can handle.

2.     Be sure to provide yourself with the free time you need to dedicate to work projects, home life, and self-care.

3.     Focus on one task at a time. Varying tasks and programs can be quite challenging, but ensure to establish what assignments and projects are priority, and then move on to the next.

4.     Create time to exercise daily. Whether it be 20-60 minutes per day, make sure to keep moving to activate those brain cells; Ultimately, improving concentration.

5.     Choose activities that improve focus. These include crossword puzzles, jogging your memory games, reading, writing, having enriching conversations, and including foods and spices that have high nutrition content to improve memory.
