FOCUS AND ATTENTION

2. The Importance of Focus
Regardless of age, the ability to stay focused is crucial.
The ability to stay focused and on task is critical in almost all situations. Difficulty focusing can earn undesirable reputation and labels regardless of age.
Good focus is beneficial at work, school, in hobbies and interpersonal interactions. It’s especially crucial in the early years of life when learning and growing will begin to set patterns and habits that set a foundation for life.

3. The Importance of Focus
But staying focused on the task at hand can be more difficult than ever.
But now more than ever, there seem to be distractions no matter what setting we find ourselves in. With electronic devices offering seemingly endless distractions and information whenever we want it, staying on task can be more difficult than ever. (Feel free to share examples of personal “distractors” or challenges in maintaining focus).

And some people just have a harder time paying attention and staying on task. For some, staying on task can be a major struggle, no matter the task or setting.

6. Classroom & Schoolwork
A great way to use InTune is in the classroom or while doing schoolwork. Even the most focused students can find it difficult at any age to listen to long lectures and stay focused through difficult schoolwork. In fact, many students find schoolwork more challenging because of an inability to stay on task while doing it. So naturally, the classroom and study spaces make an excellent place to utilize InTune. When in the class room, InTune essential oil can be diffused throughout the day in a diffuser or through any number of passive diffusion techniques such as a reed diffuser. By knowing the tendencies of students to lose interest, instructors can diffuse InTune at specific time points to help boost feelings of focus such as after lunch and in classes later in the day.
In study spaces, InTune can also be diffused. It can also be applied topically to the temples and back of the neck while doing schoolwork that requires greater concentration. If students have just come from exciting activities, it can be useful to first diffuse a blend such as Balance to calm and ground the emotions and then switch to InTune to promote better clarity.

7. Home Office or Work
Another place where an enhanced sense of focus is obviously beneficial is the workplace. Most of us approach work with a desire to be productive and contribute, but with distractions ever-present, we can easily become side-tracked and lose productivity. A lot of times, it can be hard to remember to complete all the steps of a task. With work happening in so many settings such as traditional offices, home and work sites, the possibilities for using InTune to promote an enhanced sense of focus are nearly endless.
If in the office, consider diffusing InTune throughout the day to help you stay on task and detail oriented. As midday brings feelings of tiredness or distraction, apply InTune to your temples or the back of your neck. InTune can be diffused in break rooms or conference rooms to help keep meetings focused and productive. If working at home, diffuse InTune in your work space. Think about the times you find your attention slipping and target your use of InTune more specifically to those times. Or, if you find that certain tasks leave you more prone to distraction, those are also times to use targeted application of InTune whether it’s aromatic or topical.

8. Social Interactions
Now here’s a situation people rarely connect with the being able to focus: social interactions. But think about it for just a moment. Have you ever embarrassingly “spaced out” of a conversation and found yourself on the spot while interacting socially? Or have you ever felt offended when you felt others were distracted when you speak to them in social settings? And odds are, you’ve been the distracted one at least a time or two. Whether or not you normally have a harder time staying focused in social settings or not, using InTune can help you stay focused which could help your social interactions.
But sometimes you don’t want to go to a social function smelling like essential oils. A simple solution is to apply InTune to the soles of your feet to enjoy topical benefits without the aroma being so obvious.

9. Hobbies
Because they’re generally activities we enjoy, we often forget the crucial role that the ability to focus plays in our hobbies. Just think of your favorite hobbies though, they are activities that you generally focus on intensely. Are there hobbies that you’ve always wanted to enjoy but find yourself becoming distracted as soon as you begin doing them? Being able to stay on task, even when doing elective activities such as hobbies, can pay enormous dividends. As you are able to focus on hobbies and get better at doing them, you will likely find your hobbies more fulfilling.
Some times to use InTune to make your hobbies more fulfilling might include, but not be limited to: when reading, writing, dancing, fishing, hunting, cooking, gaming, doing art or photography.

10. Free-Time
For some people, focusing and staying on task can be most difficult during free-time when there’s no “to-do list.” It’s during free-time when some people feel that the near endless options for how to spend their time distract them from actually getting anything done. Obviously, this can be frustrating and make hours of time feel wasted. So if this applies to you, try applying InTune slightly before you know you’ll have some open time. Diffuse it if you can, or apply it topically to the temples, neck or soles of the feet. What you may also consider doing is applying InTune before your free time to plan how you’re going to use your time. By organizing your time, you’ll likely find it much easier to focus on your planned activities. And of course, even after planning, use InTune during your free time to support feelings of focus.
