Fighting Back Against a Distracted World - Increasing your Focus and Self-motivation
summary
Personal story of quitting full-time work turns into concrete habits: binge-watching 10 seasons triggers moving to a co-working space, then an office; social feeds get pruned from 750 friends to ~50 and Twitter is tamed with keyword muting and lists; phone removes apps, router enforces kids’ limits, and scheduling blocks (example: 20‑minute focused sprints and 10–12 / 2–4 work blocks) plus outlining, batching tasks, and walking for exercise restore focus and consistently cut procrastination.
