# STAGE THREE: EXTENDED ATTENTION AND OVERCOMING FORGETTING # STAGE THREE: EXTENDED ATTENTION AND OVERCOMING FORGETTING
Stages Two and ree are similar, but mind-wandering gets shorter and shorter until it stops altogether. e biggest challenge during this Stage is forgetting, but sleepiness oen becomes a problem as well. Goals: Overcome forgetting and falling asleep. Obstacles: Distractions, forgetting, mind-wandering, and sleepiness. Skills: Use the techniques of following the breath and connecting to extend the periods of uninterrupted attention, and become familiar with how forgetting happens. Cultivate introspective awareness through the practices of labeling and checking in. ese techniques allow you to catch distractions before they lead to forgetting. Mastery: Rarely forgetting the breath or falling asleep.

e first Milestone is continuous attention to the meditation object, which you achieve at the end of Stage ree. Before this, you’re a beginner—a person who meditates, rather than a skilled meditator. When you reach this Milestone, you’re no longer a novice, prone to forgetting, mind-wandering, or dozing off. By mastering Stages One through ree, you have acquired the basic, first-level skills on the way to stable attention. You can now do something that no ordinary, untrained person can.2 You will build on this initial skill set3 over the course of the next three Stages to become a truly skilled meditator. e Skilled Meditator—Stages Four through Six e first Milestone is continuous attention to the meditation object, which you achieve at the end of Stage ree.
