Why single-point focus helps
Training your attention on a single object — like the breath, a candle flame, or a small visual anchor — increases the ability to return to a task when distracted.
Practice
Choose one anchor and set a short timer. When attention drifts, notice and gently return to the anchor.
- Choose an anchor
- Set a 5-minute timer
- Return gently when distracted

Follow the steps below. Start runs a timer when exact timing is provided; otherwise, use the controls to step through manually.
- 1.Pick an anchor (breath or object)
- 2.Set a 5-minute timer
- 3.Notice distraction, return to anchor
