Habituation

Habituation is the basic mechanism of association-independent learning. Thanks to it, the nervous system saves attention and energy because it reacts less strongly to repetitive and predictable stimuli. In everyday life, it may concern ambient sounds, smells, repetitive messages or situations that lose their stimulation over time.

Choose one small stimulus that often distracts you, e.g. a sound from the street. Instead of fighting it, notice it, name it and return to the task, observing whether the reaction lessens over time.
