Attention and focus are the two things you need more than anything to accomplish…

well anything. If you want to get work done, tidy your room, get into shape or
make any other kind of meaningful change in your life, then you
need to sustain your attention on that task long enough to make a dent.
But this is where your brain may not like to play ball. And we’ve all been there.
We’ve all been trying to focus on an important job and get work done, only for our mind to keep wondering,
or for us to keep finding things to do that are more fun.

How many times have you sat down to get some work done, only to get immediately
distracted by Facebook, by Twitter, by the news, by a computer game.

We’ve all been there.

And how many times has this distraction ended up costing you money,
costing you time, or leading to you to miss out on opportunities?
Or think about this: how many hours do you think you’ve racked up through procrastination?
How much more productive do you think you could have been if you hadn’t spent all that time browsing the web?
This is one example of why focus and concentration are so important.
But this is just one area that is affected. In reality, your attention or lack thereof is also responsible for a wealth of other things. Your ability to focus your attention is partly responsible for your mood for instance.
If you can keep your focus on one thing, then that will prevent your mind from wandering to dark places and it will prevent you from getting angry and that can't be a bad thing .

Attention is also crucial when we’re driving – if your mind constantly wanders off,
then you could lose a fraction of a second to brake when the car in front screeches to a halt.
It’s crucial in conversation too. If you want to be liked and if you want to influence others,
then you need to be able to focus on what they’re saying.

Focus and discipline are tightly related. It all comes down to your ability
to decide what your brain is going to do. It means making your mind, your emotions
and your body work for you. Work toward your goals rather than against them.
And in this guide, you’re going to learn to get the monkey mind under control.
