ADVICE

Focus as a Muscle

Strengthen your focus muscle by treating it like any other muscle: exercise it.
Minimize distractions by putting your phone away, turning off notifications, and informing others of your focus time.

ADVICE

Pomodoro Technique

Use the Pomodoro Technique: 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break.
Before starting, remove distractions, brain-dump tasks for later, and use noise-canceling headphones.

INSIGHT

Stress and Agitation

Initial stress and agitation when starting a new task are normal; it's your brain warming up.
This feeling is caused by the release of acetylcholine and epinephrine (adrenaline).
