During deepwork: I see some people struggle with focus, and some that don’t admit to it. So, I making sure this is the last post your read about “focus” Use Cold turkey blocker and block all the websites affecting you, Then put it behind a random text required password to make 2,500 words. Why? FRICTION. The brain hates it and everyone you know hates it. Example: Ugghh this line is taking too long, i’ll eat somewhere else. Another extreme version of this is blocking websites from within the host file in windows. This makes sure you can’t even access the website at all permanently. Now for the protection of your environment. Sam Ovens talks about this in his systems thinking video. Where environment can affect decisions short and long term. You should use some white noise from Spotify and put the track on an infinite loop. It really helps fight noise pollution. No phone till 12 O'clock noon, or never use it. Make sure to put it away. No one really texts you when you're in the early game in business. Except for friends and family. Make sure you work in a room with no windows idc about the health effects with windows, if you do. Use blinds. You'll naturally want to see something with windows. Have a comfortable setup and keep the workplace clean to your preference. Most importantly practice abstinence where you cut mostly everything off. Cal Newport talks about draining the shallows: When you give a 5/5 or 10/10 rating of importance for what serves you. Whether it's social media, or other general distractions. I struggle with this too because I randomly get up, and walk around to do something when the most important thing in my life is in front of me. In the end of the day it's a serotonin issue and perspective issue. Live a boring life, and practice contentment (hardest thing I have to do. Especially with A.I leveraging most of the work) Stack bread and keep pushing.
