Comment on Ask HN: How do you concentrate?

Comments

I was having a big problem concentrating and getting work done so I tried something my friend told me to do. Sit for an hour, and do nothing. Don't plan, hardly think, just sit. It's hard to explain, but it feels like hitting the motivation reset button. I would say it's definitely worth trying.

I have to say this always works for me too. The thing is there are always forces pulling us away from what is most important. When i meditate sometimes it becomes more clear what is most important. Usually about 30 minutes into it I visually see something related to a goal. After that I just follow the vision. I worked with a guy who graduated from Pepperdine University for his MBA, and he said they are teaching meditation techniques to business majors now.
