its the job of a video to keep you focused. if you loose focus, its a badly designed video.....relax human.

1. Set a certain time for deep work every day - The best way to make work less exhausting is to make it a habit. Set an extended time to do your work and get rid of any distractions. - Cal Newport, the author of Deep Work, suggests doing deep work first in the morning, from 9 a.m. to midday. That’s when your mind functions the best. - When you first start, don’t worry if you can only do about 20 - 30 minutes. With enough practice, you will be able to extend it to a few hours, but not more than 4. Research shows that a human’s brain can’t focus for more than 4 hours at a time. 2. Have a shutdown ritual - Ways to unplug: - Take a nap - Meditate - Take a walk in nature - Don't scroll through social media during the break. This is like you would slow down and take a rest instead of doing burpees during a marathon race to run farther. 3. Have a rule of being distracted - Set a certain for distracting activities like checking emails, scrolling social media, etc. It’s better to do these activities after deep work. 4. Take care of your body - Sleep for at least 7 hours a day. Those who don’t have enough sleep have a worse performance during the day. - Exercise. Our brains become more plastic and perform better when we exercise. Also, your short-term memory functions at its peak up to 3 - 4 hours after exercising. - Stay hydrated. Keep a water bottle by your side while engaging in deep work. - Eat healthily. 5. The Pomodoro Technique - Work for 25 minutes without interruption. - Take a rest for 5 minutes. - Repeat the cycle 4 times then take a long break

This is so true and so important. I can say from experience that deep work really works and that working in a distracted state is extremely counterproductive and the same for multitasking.

Thank you for taking the time to share with us what you have learned 🙌🏻

This was just the boost of encouragement I was looking for - grateful for the wisdom.

So many good points which appear fundamental on the surface, yet so elusive to achieve in today's world. Thank you for the new video! Bravo, Art of Improvement!!

I've been working on FOCUS for a while now, and this video helps. Thank you!

I absolutely loved this video. I will definitely implement the techniques. Thank you!🙏🏻

Solid Topic & Discussion that I've needed to Improve on. Watching this RIGHT on time. Thank you for the Upload.

Even though I have read Deep work years ago but still man this video is really a refreshing course I needed. Thanks for the hard work.

You are absolutely thankful for the sponsors you are working on

This has been your best video yet. Thank you so much!

This video is a TREASURE. Can't thank you enough for such amazing video😊. I'll definitely use the POMODORO technique.

This is a very valuable video. Thank you so much! I will start the deep work today! Have a fantastic day!

Really useful video...I used to finish my big tasks in one shot without breaks It will surely help me to improve my focus and performance, Thanks

It's the best lecture I've learned in the past year. Thank you.

To me, focus is almost everything now. Whether in work, studies or care for self and loved ones, focus is a skill that allows to understand, process and enjoy all so much better.

Thank you! This is so helpful and so well presented.

Just finished reading this book a few weeks ago, great book, great video about the ideas!

Love your videos. Outstanding work!

This video is pure GOLD!

I has adhd. I listened. I prepped a conversation about this with my therapist and friend. Finished working on this task for my job, and fell asleep for less than a second four times. Now I am finished and writing this comment.

Just what i needed bro love you.Following you from 6 months

The pomodoro technique really works for me. Each half hour I walk for five minutes, in my house, going back and forth in a long room at the end of the house. I’m studying math and physics and when I start walking, I'm still engrossed with what I’m studying and often have insights during this walk time that don’t happen while I’m sitting at my desk. It’s amazing!

Honestly, I think that focus is largely a result the way that you feel about yourself and the way that you feel emotionally about the possibilities for yourself, which is often the byproduct of childhood relationships, as well inspiration. I think that focus starts with dealing with those things.

Excellent work with this video and its content. I'd surely recommend it. Good job man!

I need to improve better. Thank you, awesome tips! ❤🙏

Excellent video. Thank you!

I agree wholeheartedly. Over the years, I've mastered the skill of multi-tasking, because that's what employers seem to want in an employee, but I've noticed that the real jobs get done when you can focus on one task, without distraction, until completion. I'm now learning to do that better. I'm finally trying to write (something I've always wanted to do), and I'm finding that I need this skill more than ever.

@Choo-choo-chookcha

What people perceive as multi-tasking is actually focused work on one thing followed by focused work on other thing and so on, while that first thing is not getting out of hand. True multi-tasking doesn't exist. Trying to do a bunch of things at once is not multi-tasking, it's overcinfidence at best and stupidity at worst.

This video really helps me develop my focus. At least I finished first 3 mins of it without a pause.

These videos and 1 other on personal development, are my deep work time each morning. Always between 8am &12pm only. I take notes and spend the next hour analyzing each and implementing them into my daily lifestyle as most productive. Thank you and keep up the awesome effort!! 🤘😎

There is never a “have to” when it comes to SCROLLING social media. Re: social media scrolling: Post if you must (i.e. business promotion), interact if you’re trying to build community- but scrolling? Never ever necessary. Waste of time, energy and life? Absolutely.

Meditation is a very direct and powerful way to train attention AND focus together (when done correctly) as well.

I met Haruki Murakami before I knew who he was ugh I wasn’t familiar with him at the time but love his books now. I have all of them.

Deep work really helped me finish my work faster and smarter

The best way to explained

It's a fantastic video, i'm grateful for it! 🙏 I'm thinking now, what a person can do, if his job needs focus, deep work, but it's constantly interrupted by phone calls and e-mails (and other messages) from boss, from other colleagues, from customers etc. In this situation, when being online is part of the job, switching off not an option. What can a person do to keep his focus in a situation like this? 🤔

Great video, reminder of techniques I’ve used in the past. Lately though having trouble focusing as I’m in middle of lifestyle changes. It would be great if you and/or other viewers could address two things I need help on: 1) How to do deep work on multiple different things? A day for each area of deep focused work or divide up the focus time? 2) I need to do outdoor work in the mornings before it gets too hot, this has messed up my focused computer morning work time. If I do outdoor work, say from 6/7 to 9 am, then switch to deep focus, will I still be able to maintain productivity? Yes I realize I have to do it to see what works, but would like some input on these kinds of issues, thanks!

GOOD ADVICE

Lost focus to type this comment to say that your videos are incredibly helpful! Thank you for this!

This is great, thank you. Focus is a key! People tell me “yeah but it’s easy for you…” Hahahahahaha. You have to start somewhere…what’s helped me is my Bible study because it’s serious and my life depends on what I’m reading snd applying. We (JW.org) have a structured schedule and it’s based on focus! It’s so helpful. I didn’t realize just how many (beside the spiritual aspect) ancillary things, like focus, are also being achieved. The Scriptures are full of reminders about meaningful focus, goals, and actions. One thought: Being a dynamic learner may look scattered but it’s possible that you’re making other important connections while you’re working. In my case, one thing always reminds me of something else and often something completely different. Instead of letting it sideline me, I write it down so that valuable information is not lost. I enjoy your videos so much, thanks again

nice video. thank you.

DAMNNN!! This is such a good video. I already know this will change my life. I watched all the way until the end and took notes on the whole thing. If I've ever learned anything from you, it was this one video.Thank you so much for the valuable content!

Didn't realize that what I usually do is called deep focus. When I draw / bake, time seems to skip a few hours because I am so concentrated on what I am doing. I don't even touch my phone when I'm watching a good movie / series and it makes it more fulfilling since I am so in touch with the story.

This is gold

Being a dynamic thinker is special. It requires focus but also fluidity. I’ve always thought about many things at once and was told that was a problem. I was told “stay on the subject” IIn keeping only strict focus, the dynamic part is shut down. Sometimes this is necessary but at other times we many be shooting ourselves in the foot. In addition to focus, we need to think and learn and reason, which in the end, is making connections. They all go together and focus is a vital part of the pie. Taking breaks is just as important as focus because we also need time to meditate on the information , to be able to make the necessary connections, to be able use it wisely. Knowledge is not power, wisdom is power: the proper application of knowledge.
