How About Learning To Play An Instrument To Increase Focus?

[Steph1988]

I thought a bit about Leo's concentration video and i thought there is maybe a better way to do it.

Namely learn to play a musical instrument or rather try to achieve mastery in it, u cannot achieve mastery if u cannot focus on the level Leo is talking about i experienced that myself i absolutely know that this is one of the few things i'm 100% certain about.

So instead of staring at an object or listening to a metronome i learned to play this piece on guitar

i already had a reasonable background playing guitar but it took me 6 months of daily practice to get close and i realize now u sit there sometimes for hours at a time playing it at slow speed endlessly but there comes a certain point where u get so focused and immersed i didn't experience that since i was a child i guess that is the focus that is talked about.

Leads me also to think maybe this is a basic human skill that got out of fashion in our neurotic world.

anyway why stare at objects when u can learn it through an interesting activity that improves your life in many other ways as well?

And i take music just as an example because that is what i had experience with but just the general idea that doing activities that require intense focus to increase focus seems to me more natural and preferable.

So just a thought what u guys think?
