attention. How did I notice this? Imagine a camera. It has automatic settings. Certain settings are on when it is light and the focus adjusts accordingly. If the light is off, the ISO sensitivity settings and focus will adjust to a lack of light, to a dark space. Do you understand? The point is that a person’s mind, his focus of attention, operates in the same way. Same as a camera’s settings respond to different environments, his focus of attention, his ISO settings, must change according to the different conditions. And when “muscles of attention” switch from one setting to another, they “workout”. You see? Your attention, your psyche also have “muscles”, and they must stay active in practice. Then I saw a problem. If a person is a camera, then think of it as everyone’s autofocus is broken. A person is stuck in one setting of the focus. And he is functioning in this single setting everywhere – at work, at home, at rest. His settings are not switching as they should. If you think of a person as a camera, imagine that the light conditions change but his focus is blurry and can’t capture the image. Can’t focus. Do you understand? This is what is called “comfort zone”, when a person stays in one rhythm of vibrations and this rhythm always stays the same no matter what a person is doing. The conditions change but his rhythm of vibrations don’t. This is a huge problem.

Then, what I saw next. In order to fix it, it is necessary to build the boundaries of the worlds. That is, the world of the family is one rhythm and you have to have a special soundtrack for it, specific music, specific clothes and you have to stay in a family mode. That is, you need to focus on this rhythm and adjust yourself to it.

When you are about to do your work, you must be in a designated space, arranged for your line of work. You need to change your clothes, turn on some music that you associate with working mood. You need to exit the relaxed mode that you were in when you are with the family and concentrate. And this is hard for people. But it is crucial to force yourself, to concentrate because working mode requires more power of your brain, your engine. Your attention must be more focused and the efficiency factor of your brain must be much higher. It is very important that all settings of the autofocus operate precisely and switch in accordance with different environments. Also important to have different
