Evolve > Focus > Checklist – How Focused Are You?
Focus is key. Be it studying, working, eating or even taking a walk. Focus helps you stay productive, achieve more and respond better in the face of distractions. A great way to improve focus is to meditate, which comes with its own range of benefits.
This is a simple checklist for you to ascertain how focused you are and assess your general concentration levels. Please note, there is no scientific background to this and it’s a general test of your focus based on routine habits.
Read all the questions and give yourself a score for each question from 1-5. Here’s the scale below to help you answer.
1. Almost Never 2. Rarely 3. Sometimes 4. Often 5. Almost Always
