You Can’t Stay Focused
When it feels as if your mind is being pulled in every direction and you can’t seem to complete anything on time when you have tons to do, your stress levels may be to blame. Dr. Timothy Wilens, M.D., tells Fox News how stress can really affect your ability to think clearly and focus. “It competes with your cognitive centers — the areas in the brain that are responsible for quick, sharp thoughts — so being anxious or stressed drags focus down even further,” he says.
