In a distracted world, attention has become a precious resource.

The lure of always wanting to check our email, social media and news feeds can keep us from actually focusing on the task at hand.

One solution to increase your focus is to work with your hands.

Find a hobby that requires you to fully engage as a craftsman; be it gardening, sewing, woodworking or anything constructive.

The feeling you get when working this way will be an indication for how you should feel when you need to focus on other things.
