I have recently started a new job. I am meeting a lot of new people. I am concentrating a lot. I liked the number one piece of advice from The Trusted Advisor. The authors have, helpfully, summarised their chapters into a helpful list form in the last chapter called “The Quick-Impact List to Gain Trust”.
Cue drum roll.

Love it!
I am having to concentrate very hard so as to a) not let my mind wander and, b) construct my own sentences to reply to what is being said. Harder than you’d think, I must say.

I am not an expert but I will say that daily meditation has helped me on both counts. The inhale-exhale requirement of certain meditation is helpful to controlling the mindset a bit like you might if you were sleepy but still had insomnia.
Between those two pieces of advice is only you!
