Experiencing significant difficulty focusing may be a signal to take a break and go for a walk in nature to recharge directed attention.

“So, I think you have to be really mindful about directed attention fatigue. So, if you're trying to study or uh you're at work and you're having a really hard time concentrating, I would recommend not just trying to power through. If if you have the ability uh and the time to take a break, I recommend that you stop and you take a break. And what kind of break do I recommend you do? I recommend that you go and try to find some nature and walk in nature.”

“I do think these nature to get the really most bang for your buck for these nature experiences, they do have to be solitary”

“So, I think yeah, if you can't concentrate right in the beginning of the morning, then you should go for a walk, right? That should be the first thing you should do.”

“Yes. And I would say something else too. I guess if you felt like you had to create an isolation kind of chamber sort of thing to focus your directed attention that's where we would say it's probably time to take a break that that's when you know we might recommend that you go for a walk in nature to recharge this kind of precious directed attention resource.”
