A focused fool can accomplish more than a distracted genius.
Fully agree!
I was watching half way then i got distracted but I ended up finishing it.
Ha, the distraction struggle is real! I get it. :)
Whenever I feel beat up and frustrated I just watch any video by this great man and it's show time.sending my respect and gratitude from Botswana.
Hells yeah. I love hearing that, Junior.
Ah, “we can’t always control what we are focused on” perfectly describes my experience
Glad it resonated!
My creativity, a strong suit, was sidelined by early ADHD that held me back a grade...which shredded my self confidence, worth, and image. Unlike you, it took me many decades to dig down to that damageing root cause of my dysfunctions; and begin to heal. I know full well of distractions, self sabatoge and being (temporarily) in the zone...hyperfocus. My mission, in the time remaining to me, is to completely reprogram those early imprinted messages. I believe that you, your channel, will be an important part of this part of my journey. Thank you.
I'm really psyched to hear you're back on the right track!
This is awesome info Anthony, especially for is ADHD folks. I was diagnosed in my early 20s, and have been on Concerta and sometimes Aderall ever since. Now at 40, I would love to find tools to be able not to be completely dependent on these meds. To your continued success!
Glad you enjoyed and resonated w/ the video! Something I don't have much data (beyond antectodal experience) on, but has helped me tremendously in the past 4 months is this supplement my nutritionist put me on called Cort-Eaze. I was skeptical at first, but the results have been significant. Might be worth looking into. P.S. I have no affiliation with this company/product. It's just proved very useful for me recently.

I have learned about a lot of psychological disorders in psychology class so you just added valuable information that can help millions of people who wants to improve their lives. We all struggle with some things in our lives until we learn in the right way how to reach our greatness. Thank for sharing
Psychology is one of the most valuable subjects you can study. Go deep in it and it'll serve you incredibly well throughout life.
very true. I loved the class so want to take further studies.
I’m ADHD, got diagnosed last year, my medication helps immeasurably.
Dude, that's awesome to hear! I'm psyched they're working for ya!
What are you on if I may ask? Wondering what side affects might be/trade offs.
I’m almost wondering if I have adhd but I’m afraid to get diagnosed if I am. I’ve always felt like something is wrong with me and that I already had enough various weaknesses and vices to make me have serious depression, self doubt, disbelief in myself and what I’m capable of, that I feel like if I got diagnosed I would just feel like giving up and that it would break me knowing something indeed was wrong with me that I would have another health issue or life issue against me.
Your channel is really great. I enjoy watching your videos and working out how I can apply them. Focus is something I have improved on in leaps and bounds through improved and positive growth of my mindset and regulation of my emotions. I am much more calmer, get more done, the more important stuff with less effort; but it is far from perfect. I do still waste time, my not getting important things done, when I have the time and instead doing easy but far less important tasks.
Thanks for sharing, Alison. I really love hearing these kinds of stories!
Love the channel man. We have a lot of the same things. Child hood issues went through the same thing. Adhd still having issues today.
Glad you're here, Robert. Love connecting with likeminded people!
- To have system tailored to your personality that works for how you cope with world and life.
- Many attempts of improvement evolutionally fail but within all that effort if finding only a few solutions that really work might have huge impact on your progress.
- Develop constructive creativity based on ability to create something new via connecting two different or related information.
mmk
This content is amazing Anthony! Really identify alot with your journey and the videos you’re putting out (as a marketing consultant in my late 20’s). Where can I find the next part of this series on your solutions?
Stay tuned, Brian. We're going to be releasing a lot of killer content over the next few months that I think will help you out quite a lot!
Psyched you resonated with the message!
Thanks @@AnthonyVicino I’ll definitely stay tuned!
Same. I have ADD, took that drug as a kid. Now at 41 I am taking one college course. I take a few hours and do only that, reading, write my paper in one day. Get it done. I have a 100 in this class, no joke. Its a Psychology of Drug use and abuse course.
Nice, dude. Sounds like you're crushing that class!
Related to this video a lot man!
Really psyched to hear that, Evan!
is a skill, but only once u learn to use it
true
This is helpful not just to someone with hyper focus, but to everyone
Thanks, Bisengo. You're right. The concept is universal and hopefully it can help everybody!
Been watching few of your videos and I love listening to your advices, I just wanna point out that some of the subtitles are incorrect, it shows the wrong word but has similar pronunciation, seems like its auto or something. Anyways love your vids, keep up the good work.
I appreciate the feedback. Our auto-captioning software was not great. We've stopped using it now!
Hey did you have an ebook for hyperfocus? I think I started reading it and wanted to come back to it today and couldn't find it. Was it taken down or something?
Thanks for your content.
Hm... I don't have an ebook for Hyperfocus specifically.
I have a different ebook about the 4 Spheres of Influence which you can get when you join the newsletter. Is that what you're thinking?
@@AnthonyVicinoyeah that's the one! Found it in my inbox. Thanks so much.
Creativity = the ability to take 2 or more piece of informations and sythensize, connect them for new novel insterinsting functional ways to make ideas and recognize the oppurtunity for raise to the top in field
Correct!
But how did you get passed it? What did you do to help you focus?
It's an ongoing process.

Thanks!
ADHD is the lack of dopamine and desynch between your attention system and the default mode network (DMN). Ritalin (or chocolate or candy) elevates dopamine levels in these regions which allows to synch back the brain. If administered early in childhood the kid gets a reference point what it means to be focused and it can be of tremendous help.
Interesting. For me, ritalin had more negative effects than positive, but I'm sure it's helpful to a lot of people out there.
I need your help
I'll do my best!
My 5th grade teacher told me something that has really helped me stay focused when encountering challenges. He would say, “How do we eat a whale Michael? One bite at a time.”
What tricks have you learned to stay focused at other times? Like how do you motivate yourself to do something you know will be good for you even when you don’t want to?
That's a great philosophy for life!
Great question on focus.
Real talk: It's hard and there is no one size fits all solution. I have a bag of tricks I can bust out at any given moment, but the most important concept that's served me is that Discipline beats Motivation. Instead of worrying about cultivating motivation, instead, cultivate the skill of discipline (which I define as "the ability to make yourself do something you don't want to do.")
Mastering discipline is step one.
Step two is understanding your a biological machine and that energy management is possibly the most important aspect of focusing. I'll do more content on this concept in the future.
Step three is environment design. Design your work flow/station in a way that optimizes for focus. Again, more content coming on this in the future.
When does he say how to boost productivity?
Being in the flow/Hyperfocus state is linked with a 500% increase in productivity.
How to actually get into the flow /Hyperfocus state is a topic for another day.
(We actually have a course on that topic, but I don't want to just slide into the comments to pimp a product).
There's a free video on the channel called The Productivity System That Made Me A Millionaire. That's what I'd check out next.

@@AnthonyVicino Great Content.
So, how to access this level of focus?
I'm creating a mini-"focus" course (totally free). Hoping to have it all done and available in the next month or so.
@@AnthonyVicinowere you able to ever make this course? I would love to check it out. I just found your channel. I am so excited to go through all your videos. I feel like God has shared a link from heaven to me of your TH-cam channel in a beam of hope and guidance so far. Been feeling really down lately, hopeless and discouraged with not being able to focus on things and trying to keep belief that I can achieve all the dreams and greatness I long to.
Did you find that your diagnosis helped you? or did it make you feel less than and you wish you were none the wiser?
That’s what I’m worried about if I went in to get diagnosed. I have always often felt like something was wrong with me and I feel like if I got diagnosed it would only make me feel more helpless and not independent for myself. I don’t know if I would be as robust as yourself or others to deal with it.
Can u be my mentor
Sorry, no.
@@AnthonyVicino No worries. Thanks for ur prompt reply
Nice video but this does not actually tell us anything or how to Unlock Hyperfocus on Command. Maybe I just missed it..
Yeah, I just renamed the video. This is one from way back in the archives and I think we were experimenting with titles recently.
This video is actually the better one if you;re looking for a step-by-step system (very tactical) on unlocking Hyperfocus:

Hey sir, I liked the video, but i did not get the answer to how to focus easier.
Like your sincere work. 🫡
Lol, totally fair. :)
