Sample of Topics

  1. Motivation: The drive to achieve goals can enhance focus and persistence. Intrinsic motivation often leads to better performance than extrinsic motivation.

  3. Anxiety: High levels of anxiety can impair concentration and decision-making, while moderate anxiety can sometimes enhance focus.

  4. Focus and Concentration: The ability to maintain attention on relevant tasks is crucial. Distractions can lead to decreased performance.
