The Horizon

There’s a nice little article on concentration at lifehack.org.  It has a lot of tips as usually from the Lifehack.org crew.  Here is one way that the article says will help us improve our concentration:

Physical Alertness

The powers of our concentration depends a lot upon our physical well-being. If we are tired, unhealthy and afflicted by numerous minor ailments, concentration will be more difficult. Of course, concentration is still possible; it is just more difficult. However, we have to try to make life easy for ourselves; we need to give a high priority to our physical health - getting sufficient sleep, staying physically fit. Undertaking exercise will help develop our concentration. It will help if we lose weight, clear the mind and create a sense of dynamism. If you struggle to concentrate, we need to think of a holistic solution; good physical health and fitness will definitely help develop our powers of concentration.

One thing that I was thinking about while reading through the article is how much this could be applied to my ADHD.  I think it has some merit, particularly the tip that I have quoted here.  Because health can have very many interesting effects on how your day will go with ADHD.  Some of the others are certainly helpful, as supplements to a more rigorous prescriptive schedule.
