"If you struggle to focus, read this..."

Your success depends on two questions

How easy is it to fall into distractions?
How easy is it to fall into multitasking?

Distractions and multitasking are the biggest, most controllable ways to waste your time

Distractions waste your time twice

You lose time
- by doing something unimportant
- the loading time to switch between tasks

You lose double time away from your goals

Your burn your energy context-switching rather than progressing

Focus is a muscle

Focus concentrates your energy to get more done in a shorter amount of time

Focus is a trainable skill that you can build

Once you build the ability to focus each of your tasks becomes exponentially better

Your commitment builds your focus

If there is a consequence for getting your work done, you will be more than likely to do it

Build commitment by
- make it have a reward
- connect it to your values
- writing down your specific goal
- remove your ability to do something else

Write away your distractions

Create a distraction sheet

- Have a sheet of paper next to you
- Write down your distractions
- Get back to work

Writing them down contains the thoughts and allows you to organize your thoughts for later

A clear space brings a clear mind

Here’s a crazy thought
- You don’t always have to your phone within arm’s reach

Only have necessary tools available for the task at hand

Each additional object is a focus killer

Build your focus muscles with mindfulness

The simple act of paying attention to your breath increases your ability to focus

When you practice mindfulness overtime, science says you
- increase focus
- reduce mental distractions
- increase overall health and wellbeing
