Just stumbled on ur channel. “Even the same spot in a cafe” I’m glad u said that as a good alternative for cafe nomads - it’s a great point. As a nomad I’ve found myself working in Starbucks around the world - even I’m not necessarily a fan - it’s just that consistency of environment. And somehow I’m usually productive in there. 🙏
This was actually incredibly helpful. Great Video! I also turned my iphone into a dumbphone with your help! Really appreciate your content!
Thanks for the great knowledge! Mans got me journaling, now he’s gonna have me working
Ahaha let's get it 🤝

Staying focused for long periods involves removing distractions, practicing deep work sessions, setting implementation intentions, managing energy levels, and establishing a consistent routine.
Key moments:
00:00 The speaker shares five simple ideas to stay focused for long periods of time, including removing distractions and addressing inner distractions, leading to progress on goals and hobbies.
-Outer distractions, like phone notifications, can be managed by physically removing the source or setting up barriers, aiding in maintaining focus during work.
-Inner distractions, stemming from discomfort with the task at hand, can be tackled by a four-step process involving identifying triggers, journaling sensations, and implementing a 10-minute rule to resist immediate distractions.
03:24 Training yourself to be unfocused through deep work sessions of 50 to 90 minutes, followed by short breaks, can enhance productivity and focus significantly.
-Keeping a journal to track distractions and triggers during work sessions can help increase self-awareness and combat inner distractions effectively.
-Efficiency over long hours is key to productivity, as highlighted by a successful TH-camr, emphasizing the importance of deep work sessions for optimal results.
-Utilizing visual timers and structured breaks during deep work sessions aids in maintaining focus and training oneself to resist distractions for extended periods.
06:48 Setting implementation intentions significantly impacts behavior, as shown by a study where 91% followed through compared to 35% without. Planning tasks and managing energy levels are key to staying focused and productive.
-The power of setting implementation intentions. A study demonstrated a 3X increase in follow-through by simply planning tasks and intentions.
-Importance of planning tasks and avoiding distractions. Pre-planning work tasks and setting boundaries, like scheduling social media use, enhances focus and intentionality.
-Energy management for productivity. Managing energy levels is more effective than solely focusing on time management for optimal productivity and motivation.
10:23 Optimizing energy levels through understanding circadian rhythm, chronotype, and four dimensions of energy can enhance focus and productivity. Consistent meditation, creating routines, and having a dedicated workspace are key for sustained focus and performance.
-Understanding circadian rhythm and chronotype can help identify optimal times for focus work, exercise, and relaxation, leading to increased productivity and efficiency.
-Optimizing body, mind, emotion, and spirit can significantly impact focus levels, with improvements in sleep, diet, exercise, and meditation playing crucial roles.
-Creating a routine before focus work, practicing consistent meditation like mindfulness, and having a dedicated workspace can enhance focus, productivity, and overall performance.
thanks Ai chat bot
Taking a note about trigger points “by writing” during the session changes my focus. However, I can focus to the session back when I hit a big&bold DOT to the end of the note. However-2, recording the trigger with a “primitive” simple audio recording is more efficient scenario for me, in terms of not losing eye focus during the session.
Definitely gonna be trying this! Also out of curiosity, what do you use to edit your videos? Big fan of your style
This was actually edited by my editor ken!! He uses final cut pro :)
Tips i will use:
- focusmate
-keep a blank site on laptop/or notebook for write my thoughts
- use a visiual timer
- 50 min work/ 10 min pause
- set an implementation intention (Write 1-2 sentences about what i want to achieve before i do things - planing)
love to see it
I have read about implementation intention in atomic habits
great book!
Energy management is actually pretty hard when doing college. I work a lot more efficiently at home on my schoolwork, since I can work with 2 monitors and am closed off from distractions. The problem is that I'm forced to attend classes, causing a big drain on my energy and lowering my performance. Do you have any tips on how to deal with this?
nice video
thank you :)
I have been always applying "10 - min rule" but it always comes when i start to study.
nice!!
What program do you use to time block?
Bro i have noticed that for the last 2 months, you will replace the letter "o" with the toggle button in your video's thumbnail up until now, are you trying to send a message?
Been doing transcendental meditation... curious if anyone else has tried this? Any comparisons to it versus mindfulness meditation?
have heard good things about transcendental meditation from tim ferriss' content. recommend checking it out
Just did a quiz. Turns out Im a BEAR
What quiz?
Same as me nice!
link of the visual timer?
you can just search time timer on amazon. If you want the exact model I use, I linked it in the video "7 purchases under $100 to quickly improve your life"!
hoping my comment will help the algorithm for you :)
thank you :)
thanksssss @reysu
