Building Routine and Addiction for Razor-Sharp Focus
In this podcast episode, the speaker explores the idea that developing razor-sharp focus is essential for success, especially when it comes to learning a new language. The speaker shares an article by Josh Fester, an author and entrepreneur, who developed intense focus by incorporating reading into his daily routine. Fester read 170 business books in a year and became addicted to reading. His routine revolved around allocating specific times for reading, even sacrificing social engagements and leisure activities. This addiction to reading helped him develop razor-sharp focus, as he became compelled to read, and his body and mind adapted to the routine.
