Lektion 1

Theory: Trouble Focusing

Learn how humans are naturally wired to be distracted, a trait that once helped us survive but now makes it harder to concentrate in a world full of digital noise and constant interruptions. This lesson explores the science behind attention, why focus is so easily lost, and how improving it can lead to greater productivity, mental clarity, and overall wellbeing.

These practices help you notice when your focus drifts and gently guide it back, building the mental muscle needed to stay present and engaged with the task at hand, especially in distraction-heavy environments.
