How do you stay focused? I will tell you how I stay focused, but I'd like to hear from you too. Staying focused takes discipline and setting aside distractions, like our cell phones. There are three main ways that I stay focused and I talk about them in the video: I limit my options, I work toward self-motivation, and I take it one day at a time. Thank you, Folsom Middle School for asking this question. So tell me, how do you stay focused?
