Stop Wasting Time - 11 Tools to Double Your Focus

So, there are a lot of different

tools

that we can use to help improve our ability to stay

focus

ed on our work or our studies for an extended period of

time

and we are going to divide them into three: The first group are

tools

that help with

time

management. time of our Focus session, the second are tools that help us combat distractions and the third type are tools that we can use to make our work a little more fun, so let's start with the first category in the late 1980s , a student named Franchesco. match was struggling to concentrate on his studies and complete his assignments feeling overwhelmed he asked himself to dedicate himself to short bursts of

focus

ed study time he found a tomato shaped kitchen timer he set it for 25 minutes and started working these are in fact the humble origins of the infamous productivity technique, the pomodora method, ever since our friend Franchesco named the technique, a ton of apps and tools have been created around this idea that you set aside a certain amount of time to work and then rest a little afterwards and, in my opinion, the most effective apps not only help you figure out how to time 25 minutes and 5 minutes because you can do it with a watch, the most effective apps incorporate some aspect of gamification and That brings us to tool number one, which is a tool that I used to use a lot in medical school and it's an app called Forest that you can download on

your

phone and the idea here is that you set a timer for, say, 25 minutes. and at that moment a tree is planted, a virtual tree.

Now you're supposed to focus on

your

work and not check your phone, so the tree continues, but if you get distracted, use your phone, and exit the app, then the tree. will die now I first heard about this when I was in my fourth year of medical school where everyone was talking about it and I had some friends who swore by it and at first I thought it was a little misleading because who cares? Does it matter if a tree dies? or a tree doesn't die, but then I started using it and realized this is really fun, it was nice because it allowed me to time my work sessions which is really nice, it was nice because it actively discouraged me from going. on my phone, which was the way I used to distract myself in the past and thirdly, there was an element of community around this where me, Katherine and Marcus, my friends from medical school, would like to WhatsApp each other to be like how many. trees, you planted today, I planted 10 trees today, oh I only did eight, oh I'm going to go for nine tomorrow, it just created this sense of gamification in the community around this idea of ​​studying for a medical school exam and then over time as you plant more trees it ends up growing into a developed forest and it's just a really nice gamified, cute, healthy way to track your focus sessions, which is why there's a company called assana that makes project management tools and every year they produce something called work index anatomy and to do this they survey around 10,000 knowledge workers to find out what works for them and what doesn't each year the results change a little and before and after the Pandemic things were quite different, but one thing seems to be true. every year, that is, we lose a lot of time at work;

For example, the 2019 report shows that workers spend 2-thirds of their time coordinating work, leaving only 13% for strategic planning and 27% for the skills-based work they were actually hired to do. making the most recent version of the report is also quite bleak and shows that on average 3.6 hours per week are wasted in unnecessary meetings and 62% of the workday is apparently wasted on repetitive mundane tasks, so the big challenge when it's about focus because this is a video series about focus is how we make sure that we're focusing on things that are really important and move the needle instead of these tedious administrative tasks that generally don't tend to move us forward or, in Best case scenario, they do. we tend to stick to where we currently are and there is a general category of tools that I think are very useful for this and they are tools that help you track your time.

Now we talk about Forest, how you can track the amount of time you spend. you spend in work sessions, but the point of these other tools is that you can track how much time you actually spend working on the things that are most meaningful to you, so within this category we have manual time tracking and time automatic. follow up, so let's start with the manual. Now there are many different ways to do this, but they are all basically based on the principle that you want to be able to track how much time you actually spend on the things that matter to you. the way I've been doing this for quite a while is and I've done it over the years in several different formats, but this is the most recent iteration, it's this document that I call my quest log just because it's kind of more It's fun that way and what you can see is that I started doing this in this version on February 2nd because I realized in January that I was spending a lot of time doing random nonsense that wasn't actually time spent focusing on what really mattered. for me and, for example, you can see here in the 3D from February.

I made reasonable progress in the productivity course. I wrote a few things about how to deal with the list of incoming projects. that and I've mentioned it several times, you might be familiar with the tactic: I go to YouTube and open one of those peaceful days at Hogwarts type random playlists, which usually last like 3 hours these days, the algorithm knows me. well, as soon as you open YouTube during work hours, you know I'm looking for this type of ambient music and the first thing you see on the top left of my YouTube home page will always be Harry Potter Ambience. or Hogwarts Setting or Lord of the Rings Setting or Skyrim Setting, you know one of these random playlists and what I'll do is put on one of these playlists.

I will set an intention. I'm going to work on productivity. lab I put on one of these videos, put on headphones or play it out loud or whatever and then when I zone out I go to YouTube and I'll see, oh, for example, 46 minutes and 51 seconds have passed, that's cool , so. I'll go to my quest log and write down what I did in that time and how much time has passed so you can see it here. I did it for 50 minutes on February 3rd. 55 minutes in copy for the productivity lab on the first floor. from the British Library in London got a bit distracted by random loose things but landed on a reasonably solid 5p frame for the productivity lab waiting for feedback from Gareth and the team and this was February 6th and if you're interested in how I do this uh if you go to Google Docs and do it now, it gives you the time, date and time on the current Tim stamp anyway, on February 10th I did 1 hour and 26 minutes on the productivity quiz on the scoring app, you can see here, on March 1, I did 1 hour 17 working on The Branding and Naming for the Productivity Lab using the new Alchemy idea, 37 minutes working on the new accelerator offering for our YouTuber accelerator a part time and 28 minutes working on more names and brands for the productivity lab.

These are the important projects that I'm trying to advance in my particular business and if I didn't have this Quest log where I was tracking the amount of focus time I spend doing these things, I would probably finish. I

stop

ped doing random things like professionally responding to Slack messages and emails all day because I could actually spend all day on Slack and emails but then I wouldn't get anything done so I could keep track of my time this way. it's like a really discreet and frictionless tool, you don't need any app, you don't need to pay for anything, literally you just need to create a new Google document which, by the way, is a little trick that you can do with documents. new and that will just create a new Google document that you can call this your quest log or whatever you want to call it.

I like the quest log and then you can say I spent 15 minutes filming the video for the Focus series or something and then tomorrow it could be like whatever, like 55 minutes studying for the chemistry test or whatever you're dealing with To do, it's almost like you're creating software and you're making this little change log like this. are all things that I did and the really cool thing about this is that it's a great tool to track your time, but B feel the feeling of progress, this feeling that you're making progress, this is one of the power concepts of the ones I speak about in Chapter 2 of the book, if by the way you want to check out the book, if you've checked it out, I would really appreciate an Amazon review, that would be nice, but when it comes to trying to make our productivity feel good, it's a great aid. part of it is feeling the sense of power, feeling the sense that we are making progress and I personally find that tracking my time and making sure I spend time on this Focus stuff every day or at least most days labor.

Find is hugely useful for feeling a sense of power and progress in whatever you're doing, so this was a really easy manual way to track your time. There is another app that you can use that I find quite useful for manually tracking time and that is something called toggle now my team has been using this for years but I just started using it because I wanted to try it out in this video to see if it would be more or less useful than just doing it like the Google doc. which is what I've always done in the past and toggling is basically an app.

I don't think it's free. I think you have to pay for it, but you can find the details on the website where they don't sponsor this video. any change in capacity is good because it's basically time tracking plus projects, so you can see, for example, on March 8th I was flying to New York, you can see here. SP spent 2 minutes doing my morning routine am5. I spent 35 minutes working on the Bid and Fulfillment DOC for the YouTuber Accelerator I spent 40 minutes writing sales pages for the Productivity Lab I spent 10 minutes journaling and I spent 36 minutes working on the Vision DOC for my website al. com, that's useful to know on March 11, I was flying back from New York and, as you can see, I spent 1 hour and 11 minutes working on Sunday Snippets, my newsletter, and then they have reports and stuff so you can see, right?

How much time do you really dedicate to your specialization? projecting the way it would work in this context, I would say filming a YouTube video for the channel, uh, in the Focus tools. I could tag it with a project, the YouTube channel and I can give it a filming tag for whatever it's worth and I can. I press play and now my time has started to be recorded and then I can do the task for as long as I want and then the crucial thing is that I have to remember to click

stop

. I've done this several times where it's like I remembered the next day and it's like 18 hours.

I'm like, oh, when did I stop and I have to go back the date, but you have to remember to stop the stopwatch to stop the stopwatch and then it becomes like an entry in the time record type of your little projects, you can use it if you want. I tried it a few days ago because I knew I was making this video and I wanted to see if it's really useful. I've been using it for like three. days personally, but there are several members of my team who have literally been using toggle for years because we have a team subscription so you can try it if you want, but honestly, if you're new to time tracking, try Remember to start and stop a timer, it may be too much, so I would personally recommend starting with the YouTube video and Google document strategy and if you want to get more sophisticated, you can decide to use a more sophisticated application if your heart calls. for whatever reason, so those were tools to manually track your time.

Now this is really helpful to make sure that you're intentionally spending time on the things that move me the most, the projects that I need to work on. The deal right now is the productivity lab, this new product or the part-time YouTuber accelerator and my website, these are like the three things I'm really focusing on right now and if I didn't keep track of how much time he actually spent working on them. It's entirely possible that I could spend months just doing other random things because there are always more things to do, but I really need to focus on these things more.important things, so that's good about manual time tracking because it allows you to set intention and it allows you to be honest with yourself because you really know what they say, what is measured, managed and you can't improve something if you don't measure it , if you are measuring the amount of time you spend working.

This basically guarantees that even having visibility of what that time is basically guarantees that you will improve your ability to focus on that thing, whereas if you don't track your time it's very easy to convince yourself, oh, I was working 6 hours today 8 hours today, whatever it is and you might have been doing random nonsense and not really focusing on what matters because this whole series is about how we focus, so those were manual time tracking apps. Apps for automatic time tracking and the one I've been using for this since 2021 is called rise rise, by the way, they're sponsoring this video and I'm also an investor in Rise.

I have been using the product for a few months. 2022 and then I approached them and said, can I invest in your product? Because I think it's really cool, basically, the increase is automatic time tracking is for Windows and it's for Mac and it's actually cross-platform, for example if you switch between Windows and Mac like I did when I was writing my book, it will literally track your time in both and the good thing about it. What it does is it finds out what app you're currently using or what website you're on and it will categorize what you're doing based on what you've done in the past and what it thinks.

What it categorizes into this is how I spent my time. in February. You can see that I spent 21% of my time concentrating, my average work week was 34 hours, the average work day was 7 hours, and I spent 44% of my time on video conferences. % of my time writing and for me I have defined writing as Google Docs ulyses tana and Apple notes. You can see this is the amount of time I spent on all of these. I've defined documentation as basically a notion so you can see how much time I spent. About 10 hours in February writing stuff about notions, as you can see, I spent 9 hours and 56 minutes on design, so I spent 8 hours and 58 minutes drawing boxes on pages in Figma because that's design and then there's something uncategorized, so which essentially works.

You realize what were you doing and you don't have a category for that zoom. It is obviously a video conference and its artificial intelligence does a good job. Skys scanner is the travel use movement actually is programming. Jet Blue is a flat travel icon. He has a layout, yeah, well, so he does a good job of tracking your time on these things automatically, but Every once in a while, he just checks his uncategorized list and just updates the rules and then updates himself in the future pt . The community is our community for our YouTuber Academy that is building community and let's say Tim's blog is learning and now I feel good because now very few things are not categorized, so I like to categorize things this way.

Rise also has manual time tracking, which he was using in 2023 when he was working on the book that you can see in April. On Saturday, April 1, I spent 4 hours and 35 minutes editing the book, for example, and now that I think about it, I really should just use rise for manual time tracking instead of toggling, but I wanted to try toggling because my team uses it for very computer related stuff, but anyway it's like you can use apps like this if you really want for automatic time tracking, but for me it's really Manual time tracking is what moves the needle when it comes to focus, so whatever app, tool, or no tool at all you decide to use for this time tracking, if you're currently struggling with focus, I can basically guarantee that if you start tracking your time. and start recording how many minutes or hours you are actually spending focusing on things and what you are focusing on, it will almost certainly improve your ability to focus with just one easy move, by the way, if you are enjoying this video then you might I would like to see my 7-day Focus intensive course completely free.

If you visit the Focus intensive course on tocom, you can enter your email and register. It is a series of emails over 7 days where each email has some principles, strategies and tools that can help. improves your ability to concentrate, it's completely free, if you have difficulty concentrating then you can also check it out and you can always unsubscribe at any time, we don't spam that kind of stuff. Absolutely free tocom focus crash course, okay, now let's go. to the second category of tools to improve our focus and they are tools that will help us combat distractions now to some extent time tracking tools help you combat distractions because what I find is that as I track my time, I'm less I'm probably distracted if I've gone to Rise and said, "Okay, I'm going to spend the next I don't know hour working on my book or whatever, so I feel a little guilty if I do." lie to myself if I then do other things, so time tracking itself is a reasonable tool for avoiding distractions if you want to go that route, but there are some other tools that can also help with the whole distraction thing because it's something very important that helps derail people's focus, so in 2002 some researchers based in China set out to answer the following question: what is the relationship between mindfulness and smartphone use?

They recruited a group of college students from a university in Beijing and now half of them were assigned to a mindfulness intervention where they did a single 30-minute mindfulness training session and the other half listened to some neutral news during 30 minutes. After these interventions, they were asked to what extent they agreed with statements such as I feel uncomfortable if I don't use my phone for a long time in class I can't concentrate on listening because of phone calls or text messages I prefer to chat on my phone than face to face and the researchers used your answers to these questions to measure your smartphone addiction Now, the surprising thing is that after that brief 30-minute mindfulness training, which was only 30 minutes, only from the treatment group, that is , the group that received the mindfulness intervention felt more in control of their smartphone use and scored lower on the smartphone and takeout addiction scale.

Here's how small doses of mindfulness can go a long way when it comes to avoiding distractions and this brings us to an app I talked about in the past called one second, now one second is a mindful productivity app that gives you question to take a moment to breathe deeply before opening any app that distracts you, the way it works is that you install the app and then decide which apps you want to activate in a second, so let's say I now activate on Instagram every time I do Click on On Instagram something will appear that says: take a deep breath and you can do it for 1 second, 2 seconds or 5 seconds.

I think 5 seconds is a good amount of time because in those 5 seconds you can really be aware and question yourself. Do I really want to use this app right now? If the answer is yes, you use the app. If the answer is no, then you decide not to use the application. Next we have a new tool that I admit I haven't used but I haven't used much. of my team members use it and absolutely swear by it and it's a tool called opal which is like the most intense app locking software you've ever heard of and it literally just disables apps on your phone and you can't even access them. they.

Since most people don't know the workaround if you install these apps that help you combat distractions and other things, you can always like to fix them, whereas Opal is apparently really good and it's very robust and for example Tintin, one of my team members. has Opal automatically set to all distracting apps after 9:00 p.m. That's why you literally can't open these apps on your phone after 9:00 p.m. m. and then you end up going to bed on time and all these good things happen in your life because of using something like Opal, so if you get distracted by apps and you'd like some kind of sledgehammer type tool that just stops you. access them, then Opal is pretty good, so now social media apps are obviously designed to be as addictive as possible and that means that apps like Tik Tok and Instagram are ridiculously visually stimulating and the worrying thing is that because these Apps are designed so well with literally an army of thousands of developers trying to make them more and more addictive, we don't even realize the subtle features that hook us and keep us scrolling, so check out this Tik Tok screen for example, the video is full screen and on top of that they have a very strong use of color and very conveniently placed buttons so you can keep scrolling now.

A fairly effective way to combat this particular distraction is the grayscale mode on your phone, which basically turns your phone black and white and that, unsurprisingly, makes scrolling through Instagram and Tik Tok much less engaging. visually. This feature is actually part of the accessibility settings on most phones, meaning it was originally designed to help people with color vision problems, but it turns out it actually had a broader impact in terms of Helping people, even without color vision problems, reduce screen time and minimize digital distractions. If, for example, you're on an iPhone, you can go to settings, accessibility, display, and text size color filters, and once you're there, you can turn on the color. filters and then select a grayscale.

You can also give it an accessibility shortcut if you want and that allows you to quickly turn grayscale on and off depending on how distracted you feel at any given moment. Again, to be honest, this is not something I personally do routinely. use it, although Angus, who is the general manager of my business, uses grayscale mode a lot all the time when he's on social media apps. I just want to share some of these tools, some of which I find useful and some of which for my team. and other friends find them useful because these are all basically experiments that I am going to talk a lot about how to feel good in productivity, every productivity hack tool strategy, these are all just experiments so try them to see if they vibe with you and if you find something. that Vibes with you great Stik with that for me, I personally find time tracking ridiculously useful for me.

I use a second one in times when I feel like I'm spending too much time on Instagram or Tik Tok and I want to buffer that's minor, but for me, generally speaking, tracking time and finding a way to make my work actually feel good , those are like the two main drivers when it comes to helping me focus a little bit better, the other tool that I use all the time when it comes to. doing anything that requires focus is focus mode on my phone, my Mac, my iPad, and my Apple Watch. This may seem obvious, but it surprises me when I casually look over people's shoulders at their laptops and such, even at my team members. when they're supposed to be sitting there working they'll always have notifications and I'm wondering what the hell is going on because you can turn on focus mode.

A shortcut appears if you hold down option and click on the time. a Mac for example that turns on focus mode will turn on do not disturb mode and that means you won't see any notifications and now when I forget to turn on focus mode I'm doing something and I see notifications. I wonder why I say that notifications let me turn them off immediately because seeing any kind of notification will take you out of the focus mode you're trying to be in and throw you into this like a mass of distractions that are coming at you from all angles, for what if you are actually trying to do concentrated work, turn off all notifications and you can also enable exceptions to notifications, so in my case, my girlfriend, my mother, my brother and my sister-in-law.

Law and my grandmother, these are the only five people who have the ability to message me when I'm in Focus modes. Anything else that comes from anywhere elseapp, I'm just not even going to look at it and therefore have no chance to get distracted every time I try to concentrate. My phone is in my pocket like it is now or it's face down in front of me or it's not even face down in front of me. I'll take my phone and throw it. The couch behind me so I don't get distracted by my phone. I was in the British Library the other day.

You know they had a fantastic fiction exhibition. I felt like looking around and decided to go in there to do. some work while I logged in my focus log, everyone there seemed really focused, but I was looking around and like 80% of the people had their phones literally in front of them, some people even had their phones propped up on a little cup or a little phone holder on the side, so they would look at their phone and just look at their phones while they were supposedly trying to work and I was like, what the hell is going on with these people at the British Library? to focus on their work and they just allow this ridiculously distracting device to be there right in front of their face, hitting them with notification after notification after notification now in these people they always like oh but what if my kids have an emergency?

It was like bro, if your kids have an emergency, put in their phone numbers or the school number or the hospital number, any of these focus mode exceptions. Also, if someone tries to call you, you can set it so that phone calls go through. You can configure it. it's for two phone calls in a row to be made automatically, that's the automatic setting, like generally people who get distracted by their phones pinging notifications, it's not really life or death, that's the problem and it surprises me how this is so obvious. thing that very few people seem to do turn your phone face down take it out of your mind turn on a focus mode temporarily block your notifications while you're trying to focus as you can see I'm really sorry because every time I engage my audience like If you knew what your biggest challenge is when it comes to productivity, like 40% of people, a large number will say I have a hard time focusing and it's like bro, focus is a problem solved.

Near Anguilla has written a book called indistractable about Cal Newport has written a book called Deep Work about it and also a world without email which is about how to combat digital distractions. There are literally applications, tools. Focus modes built into your device. There are applications that help solve this. For example, why does it still exist? that people struggle with, obviously some people have ADHD and stuff, but I don't think 40% of my audience has it. I think a lot of people just aren't doing really sensible, obvious things that will help them focus. It really bothers me when I see it.

This with my team too. My team always says, "We're so overwhelmed or we're trying to do too many things, okay, but are you trying to focus and do deep work while seeing notifications all the time? Yes, okay, why? Yes, good point .I probably shouldn't do that. Yeah, it's like it's not that hard. Guys, come on, we have to focus it's not that hard, as long as we don't let these apps that are literally designed for addicts for as long as possible continue to bombard us. with notifications I'm very sorry about this I'm going to get off my soap box now let's move on so our final category of tools to help us focus a little better is anything that can help make our work easier. more fun, anything that makes our work feel good is literally the thesis of my book which you should check out if you haven't already if we can find a way to make our work feel good if we can find a way to make it fun we're much more likely to be focused you probably don't have a hard time concentrating when it comes to playing video games you probably don't have a hard time concentrating when it comes to watching a really good movie but you probably have a hard time concentrating on a boring job it's always hard to concentrate on a boring job It's hard for me to concentrate at work, that's boring, and I'm pretty good at this productivity thing.

Focus, since I researched it for 15 years and wrote a book about it, but I still have problems when the work is really very, very boring, so yes, we can track our time doing boring jobs, yes. I can find a way to combat digital distractions, but really the most important thing for a boring job is to try to find a way to make it a little more fun, so there are three PS gaming powerhouses and the people I'm talking about In the first three chapters of the book play power and people play is basically how we can find a way to turn our work into play to approach it lightly and easily with a spirit of play.

A question you can always ask yourself if you have difficulty concentrating. What would this look like if it were fun? This is something I used to have as a sticky note on my desk. I also have it as my phone wallpaper. Put a link below if you want to download it for your phone for whatever it's worth the question is what would this be like if it were fun what would it be like to do my taxes if it were fun what would it be like to review our profit and loss for everyone's management accountants every month yeah If it were fun, what would it be?

Writing a discharge letter for a patient in the hospital sounds like fun, with a little creativity and ingenuity, we can always find ways to make whatever we are doing a little more pleasant to approach it with more spirit of play to make it a little more fun and there are six other experiments in the book that you can check out if you want in the play note, one thing that I always find useful is the background music that we've talked about in this Hogwarts playlist, Sir. The Rings playlist, having good instrumental background music, is by far one of the most important things for me that makes work feel a little more fun if I'm ever doing something boring and I don't have background music .

What am I doing? It would make it more fun, so depending on what it is, I'll change the background music. If I really need to concentrate, it will be like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, if I do it. boring manager will be music with lyrics. There's a little more optimism because I don't need to focus on it as much, I just need to go through the admin, but I really find music to be an incredibly useful tool to make work a little more fun now we come to the power the power is the second P there are many things in power it's about taking responsibility and taking ownership of the process of the work you're doing and also making your own progress more visible So in World of Warcraft for example you kill something and then your bar experience goes up and over time as your experience bar keeps going up and up you feel that sense of progress and then you level up and then you build more experience bar. and you level up again and the whole process repeats and the game designers are really good at helping you feel that sense of progress.

This is, by the way, one of the things that makes social media apps so addictive that you like to say, oh, how many likes. Can I hoard this particular thirst trap photo I just posted on Instagram? That game you're playing, like watching watching the line go up, watching the number go up, it's incredibly addictive and so how can we use that? General philosophy and applying it to the work we want to focus on if, for example, you're a writer, often writers will tend to keep track of their word count because if you keep track of your word count and you can see oh, I did 500 words, 800 words, 1200 words. today that feels good, you feel that release from tasks, you feel that sense of progress, that's why writing things down on a to-do list and then checking them off feels really good because you feel the dopamine hit of checking things off, you feel that sensation. of progress and therefore you feel that sense of power and then Everything feels more fun again in the book there are a lot more strategies if you want to read the book um but basically the question you want to ask yourself is what is my equivalent of The counting of writer's words, how can I make progress feel a little more visible so my work feels a little more fun?

And then tool number three is the third P, which is people, how can we harness the power of the people around us? I used to do this if you've known for a while if you've been watching the channel. I actually used to document the process of doing this when I was in medical school, and I was working with my friends. He invited people. to my room or we would all go to the local library to work together and we would all work together, we are all working on different things but the fact that we are together makes the process more fun, this is something I am doing as part of my new productivity lab from productivity community, it hasn't launched yet, depending on when you see this, but the idea is that it's a kind of online community for productivity enthusiasts that will help you

double

your productivity, focus and coherence . and one of the best ways we do that is we have daily Zoom co-working sessions, so you just go on a Zoom call with other people from around the world who are interested in doing good things and if you're watching my channel and You've reached this point in the video, you're probably a little weird at it and you're probably a little nerdy in a good way and you might not have that many friends who also like the same things.

Hopefully you have friends, but maybe you like personal development more than they do, maybe you like hustling a little more than your friends, so the point is to create some kind of community around you of people who are interested. in the same thing because then everyone can work together, whether virtually or in real life, and the productivity lab is that community for a group of people. You can check it out below if you're interested, but generally speaking, we just want to find out what. are the different ways that we can use to harness the energizing power of the people around us and, again, that is something that basically ensures that whatever you are doing is more enjoyable and more energizing, which is what allows you to focus, so So that wraps up a bunch of different tools that I use daily to reduce distraction and improve focus and this was actually the third video in our three-part video series on how to focus, in case you missed the others. videos in the series, there will be a playlist here that starts with the five mistakes that ruin people's concentration and then video number two talks about five simple habits that you can start applying to your life as experiments to increase your concentration as well , that will be right there and if you are interested in hearing more about my book and you haven't read it yet, there is a video here that is the introduction to the book that explains the whole Feelgood productivity philosophy, so thank you very much for watching .

I hope you enjoyed the video. See you later bye
