Pick a simple task to start with. Try to keep your attention on this task without switching. This could be something like eating, gardening, washing dishes, ironing, or cooking. Every time you switch your attention, take note of it. After you become more aware of your attention, learn to stop yourself when you begin to switch your attention. Practice this method throughout your day, no matter what you’re doing. If you’re showering, focus on your showering. If you’re eating, focus on your eating (see below for more). Stop yourself when your attention wanders.
