To Concentrate all the Time

To Concentrate all the Time

How can you concentrate all the time. And more importantly at the times you want!
It has been stated that a vital part of paying attention or concentration is interest. The interest that I'm referring to in vague terms, refers to your continual motivation, any reason which you might have for knowing or remembering.
And every reason that you could possibly have is one either of reward, pleasure or punishment, pain. Actually, both can have the same end result: reward is a profit, while avoidance of punishment can motivate you to concentrate.
If you don't want to flunk your college course, or you don't want the displeasure of having forgotten to keep a promise, which could have greater impact in the long run. Your reward will be the maintenance of security ... avoidance of self or social dissatisfaction. You are sabotaging yourself to avoid jeopardizing your chances of winning the reward of social acceptance.
Generally, the stronger the motive for remembering something, the greater an interest you'll take in it, consequently, the better your interest will be in it. And, when you pay attention, you stand a better chance of remembering!
