Focus is the superpower of the 21st century.
In a world where there's a war for your attention:
1) You’re likely more distracted than you think
2) The distractions are likely more harmful than you think
Here are 5 science-backed (not obvious) tools for better focus.
🧵
Many of our greatest fears are completely unfounded. Mark Twain would have agreed. “I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.”
You aren’t going to be successful by reading a book.
You’ll be successful by taking consistent action over time.
So don’t get stuck in the analysis paralysis trap.
Build a system for output, manage your state, and get started.
Then keep going.
People who experience flow states regularly are the happiest people on the planet (according to science).
Here are 3 dead-simple ways to get more flow in your life:
1. Play
2. Learn something new
3. Identify what brings you alive, and do more of it
That’s it.
Hope it's helpful

Everyday, we waste 2.1 hours being distracted at work and another 2.86 watching TV.
What could you do with an extra 5 hours/day?
1. Build a side hustle and earn an extra $5K/month
2. Spend more quality time with your family/friends
3. Do things you actually enjoy, daily

4) Cold exposure
Studies have shown that cold exposure increases epinephrine and dopamine levels in the brain and body.
Here are the some recommendations:
- Cold shower for 1-5 min (try 1 min at first)
- Ice bath for 1-5 min (real ice ideal)
- Cold weather exposure for 1-5 min
