It's long been thought that meditation plays some role in concentration and focus, but only recently have we started to see studies that actually reflect the common wisdom.
Meditation can boost your overall brain power in a number of ways. Simply put, while researchers are still gathering evidence about the effects of meditation, it looks like even short stints of meditation have a positive effect on the brain's ability to concentrate. That in turn makes it easier to focus, retain memories, and be more productive.
On a more circumstantial level, meditation can also help you avoid information overload to help reduce the amount of noisy news around you all the time. Meditation is also helpful when you want to improve your powers of observation, or change habits and craving.
