How Sudoku improves concentration:

 How Sudoku improves concentration:


Let  me explain you  firstly  the  meaning of  concentration.It  is  the  ability  to  focus  on  a  task  without  getting  distracted.In todays  world  distraction  is  a  common thing among humans as  we most  of  the time get notifications  from social  media, Distractions  also occurs  due to television  and regular  responsibilities,Suduku  which  is  an  enjoyable  game   not  only provides enjoyment to players but also strengthens  concentration  of the players by focussing  on a single task for an extended period.

During  playing  a sudoku  puzzle player  should  carefully chronologically  examine rows , columns ans 3 x 3 matrix  to determine the placement of each number.This activity  requires detailed  attention , patience  and sustained  focus.The  expertise  of the  players  of sudoku enhances by regular practice.

Now let me give you a practical example. Smita a 43 year old works in an office  as a receptionist. She receives  dozens of email , manages  multiple  work , welcomes  guest, arrange  meetings  etc, By the end of the day she find it difficult  to  focus on a single task  for a long time.

So in one evening  she decided to play  sudoku  game for 20 minutes.She notices an empty  cell where the possible numbers are 3,5,8 .Instead of  guess work  she  checks the row containig the empty cell , then  she checks the column connected to it .At last she checks the surrounding 3 x 3 box.After  checking the three constraints she discovers  that 3 and 8  are already used elsewhere leaving 5 as the only possible answer. 

In order to find out  this  result  Smita  had  to  concentrate  fully  on the  sudoku puzzle  without  getting  attracted  to  distractions.Smita;s  attention  for that 20 minutes  was  entirely engrossed  solving the puzzle,

Importance  in daily life:

  • Reading a book without losing focus.
  • Completing work tasks more efficiently.
  • Following a recipe while cooking.
  • Managing household finances.
  • Studying for exams or learning new skills.

These  are  some  of  the  importance  of playing  Sudoku   in daily life. Sudoku  is not  a passive entertainment like television but it requires  active  participation. Sudoku  enhances or strengthens  the  brain  activity  or  ability to focus. Playing  Sudoku  for atleast 15 to 20 minutes a day provides positive impact.So  Sudoku  is just not a game of entertainment but a practical tool for improving concentration and mental focus.
