What’s been working: short bursts of close concentration, interspersed with intentional periods of rest and relaxation. Dwelling on how fascinating this is, and how good it feels to grow in understanding.
What’s not been working: wandering focus, feeling physically bad, dwelling on negative thoughts, running with negative emotions.
At this point it looks like I can get a lot done in just a few minutes, but that past a certain point there’s nothing I can do to prolong my concentration. Hit it and quit, move on.
