Q&A80

I am very interested in working on one of my academic work. It is a big task requiring at least two months of concentrated effort. I need to focus. Although my mind does not wander, I am also not able to focus. I feel as if I my mind is walking around the lake instead of taking a plunge into it. I am confident that I will be able to do the work, but I am not able to achieve that single-minded focus. How to achieve that “meditative focus” or “single-mindedness” about this work? Any light?

Do you love your work? Once you fall in love with something or are passionate about it, focus comes all by itself. There is nothing to do! And the decision to like something is totally yours. Get it?!
