How memorizing the Quran will improve your focus

When was the last time you focused so intensely on something that you lost track of time and didn’t feel the hours passing by? When was the last time you focused on a single task without being distracted for more than 25 minutes?

Having the ability to focus on something deeply is becoming a lost skill in our interconnected world. According to some studies, the average adult checks their phone 150 times a day. If you divide that by the number of waking hours in a day, that’s roughly 10 times per hour! No wonder our focus is so fragmented.

Any successful person will tell you that the key to success is the ability to focus on long-terms goals, short-term goals and important daily tasks without being distracted. And I’m not just referring to focus at work. We need to focus deeply to be successful in our spirituality, in our physical well-being, and even in our family and community relationships. The more disconnected and fragmented our focus is, the less we’ll be able to live the best version of ourselves across all our roles.
