Hack Your Brain for Better Focus

Why It Matters

Attention spans are shrinking faster than your phone battery at 1%. Sasha Hamdani breaks down the neuroscience of focus, giving you a playbook to outsmart distractions and finally finish that to-do list (yes, even the annoying ones).

Your Action Plan:

• Spot Distractions: Identify what hijacks your focus most (spoiler: probably your phone).

• Optimize Your Space: Declutter your desk and your digital life—chaos is not a vibe.

• Break It Down: Pomodoro isn’t just a fancy word—small chunks of work keep your brain happy.

• Practice Mindfulness: Training your focus is like hitting the gym, but for your neurons.

• Fuel Your Brain: Sleep, food, and movement—the original productivity hacks.

• Brain Training: Puzzles and concentration exercises keep your mind sharper than your wit.

• Refine & Adapt: Experiment and tweak until you find your focus flow.

Small changes = big focus wins.
