When you focus your camera on something, you have made adjustments so that you can clearly see something. A beam of light can be focused, or concentrated, on one thing, like a spotlight.

So what do you need to shine your “spotlight” (attention) on? This can be in life in general, your goals, or a specific task, such as work or studying. Notice that staying focused is limited. You can’t focus on 10 different things at once and be effective. Pick one thing to concentrate on. That’s how you stay on task.
