If you struggle to focus, read this:
🔹Prime yourself
Clarify why you’re doing this task.
Then prime your mind for whatever you’re about to do:
Need to plan your diary → go through your to-dos
Need to finish a report → read over your notes
Need to be creative → start sketching ideas

🔹Schedule deep work
Your brain fluctuates between phases of deep-and shallow concentration.
Your Deep Work sessions will last 60-90 mins at a time.
Build a ritual to access deep work easily.
Same time of day same setup.
Only move to shallow work after deep work.

🔹Task batching
Separate tasks based on their type.
• Brainstorming
• Organising
• Analytical
• Creative
• Shallow
• Recall
Then plan for them and do them in one go. Your brain works better when it doesn’t need to switch constantly.

Know what your reward for a deep work session will be.

Set a timer and stick to it.
