Unlock insane focus on demand

Unlock the insane amount of focus you hold on yourself for all the negative things you do. You have a certain focus set in yourself, use them somewhere to get the most out of your life.

Focus is everything. Every single thing you do in your life is based on focus. Do not narrow your focus on the things that make your life worse and seem unenjoyable in the long run.

Insane focus on demand— focus on the things that require a high demand in your and other people's lives too.

Choosing where you want to put your focus is a skill. Learn it. Embrace it.

Focus is the thing that separates meaning from meaninglessness and actions from distractions. Focus is where you work, instead of attending the birthday party of that cousin.

If you are out of focus on good things and only focusing on the negative things in your life. Find out what are the things that make your life less enjoyable and how you can solve it, through positive focus.

You only focus on the things that you like to do that make you feel enjoyable. Most people are focused most of their life on 3-to 4 things which are sex, video games, happiness, and more energy. They always want more in these areas of their life, because that is where exactly there most of the focus is. While some people focus on building businesses and creating art and designs.

Everyone focuses on something some do bad, while some do good. If you are spending more of your focus on things that made your life miserable.

Unlock your insane amount of focus on demand for the good things.

Your Brain is a supercomputer running the game of life

Your mind has the power to do anything you want to do. Your mind is a machine that works 24/7 even when you are asleep. It works both consciously and unconsciously.

Your unconscious mind is more powerful than your conscious one. Your mind knows exactly what to do and what's not in any given situation. If it confuses that's the time when you get anxious.

The single greatest asset every human on this earth holds is the machine between their two ears. It could make them up or it could destroy them. Use it wisely.

Your mind is running every single in your life. The time to procrastinate to take action on your goals is the signal from your brain to endure laziness because it seeks comfort, and if you are doing something new or trying to change why do you always feel uncomfortable because your brain always tells you "Next time or next day"

Your brain has everything you just need to feed it right, the way it can be useful for you in the future. You are playing a game, the life is a game where you are given a pathway to move, and certain skills to move forward through the game. It all operates from your brain.

Life is like a video game we play, we get our skillsets up, collect resources, and play with higher-level players.

The human brain can consist 2of 5-50 bytes of data per second. Through the lifetime span of 80 years, it consists of 11 million bytes of data in itself.

Psychic Entropy—The danger of distractions

What do you mean by Psychic Entropy:

Emotions refer to the internal states of consciousness. Negative emotions like sadness, fear, anxiety, or boredom produce 'psychic entropy' in the mind, that is, a state in which we cannot use attention effectively to deal with external tasks because we need it to restore an inner subjective order.

Distractions are everywhere, some days you work but not in the way you worked before. When you feel something as a distraction inside of your flow zone. Make it repaired by thinking and thought procedure on how you can improve by removing that distraction from your flow zone.

Whenever you feel bored you you pick up your phone and start scrolling g on social media as a source of cheap pleasures and dopamine hits for the time being.

When you don't have a motive or a specific goal you will always be distracted that you think that works for you in the short term, but that's not true.

Negative emotions will always come and go when you distract yourself a lot with mindlessness. You need to be more specific with your focus on good things to destroy your negative self-beliefs, emotions, and feelings.

Create a path, choose a goal for yourself and take it down on your own. Take down on some path where you were most obsessed with, because when you were obsessed with something it is difficult for you to get distracted from that thing.

Attention with intention when you apply this metric to your work or your scroll feed you will get a lot less distracted from negativity. When you seek something out of your attention and you know what you want that is where you kill your distractions.

Society is filled up with mindless distractions and chaos, don't be like them. Join groups, and communities that share a vision as you the people who have similar goals to you. If you stay with society your mind will become weak and soft and your feelings will get numb by the passing of time. Choose your environment.

The 4-hour workday—creating your productivity system

I am very much influenced by this philosophy of the 4-hour workday system. It came from the book by time ferris The 4 hour work week. I heard first from Dan that people can achieve a lot more in 4 hours of focused work (if done specifically) instead of joking around all day long.

I am using it too, and it works as wonder. You don't need to work all day long as people tell you. But, yeah if you are trying to build something meaningful by just working 4 hours a day you have to be more creative and creativity is a skill that develops in yourself with time passing. You cannot be very creative in anything you do on the first day of the job. So, chill it takes time but you will get used to it.

One more thing if you trying to do more work in 4 hours your work should be pre-planned for what you need to work on. Start with an hourly block daily then extend it to 4 hours a day when you feel you are ready.

Shape your productivity routine revolving around this you can do most of the work if you do it strategically. You have to know what you want to do in that 4 hours.

Map out tasks in the morning or before bed and what tasks you want to do in that 4 hours of flow state. Once you sit with set a timer for your work it is just like setting a deadline for a specific work. Whenever you get distracted just off the timer and then after 3-5 mins of break again do the work.

For me, it is:

  • Finding leads & taking calls

  • networking

  • Writing newsletters

  • Writing threads

Identify — solving productive problems.

Most of the time people mistakenly do things to call themselves busy for looking cool, but in reality, it isn't cool. Being productive is another thing.

You need to identify which tasks haunt you the most and you are delaying the most, you know you have to do it one day or another but, you are afraid of doing it maybe out of fear, perfectionism or just getting overwhelmed which comes with that task.

Find and identify the worth problem-solving that let you closer to your goal, not the mere ones that you can do anytime or do most of the time.

We all have some sort of tasks on our list, I remember for me it was starting, writing and building my first newsletter I delayed it for a month maybe out of fear of what people would think of a guy starting a newsletter below 50 genuine followers.

That held me back for a long time and one day a shift came to my mind that I needed to do it taking out a blank draft, started writing, creating the website on Behiive and I did it.

Solve the productive problems that are actual work. Find out what makes your life enjoyable avoid it. Do the new thing that needs to be done. Be productive with your time not busy.

Project — building out your potential

You would never know your potential If you never build.

Nothing is more important than your potential, know your capabilities and potential of doing something at a large scale.

Take a project that is meaningful to you. Map out the necessary things to get done. Check what are the resources you need to execute and build the project. You only learn by doing more and more, over time you gain more experience than everyone else around you.

The best way to learn isn't learning itself. It is working on a project that you like to build. The best way to learn is by doing personal projects. The failures that come within take it as an experience, not a sign to give up. There's always room for you to improve no matter where you've reached in your career.

You have more potential than you think you just haven't tested it yet.

Learn a skill. Map out a project around that skill. Research what more skills you need to learn to start working on that project. Your real potential comes out from the projects you build, and the experiences you have.

Deadlines — the procrastinator's edge

I used to procrastinate a lot earlier when I couldn't understand things and what was going on with my life but, when I set a deadline for myself on the projects I am working on I realized one thing when you set a deadline for anything your brain automatically starts working on how to do that thing in the specific time frame given or (by yourself).

Things don't work on their own we need to keep moving and do the things that are meant to be done. Procrastination is a mental state where people just hold themselves back for uncertain reasons.

You will never procrastinate if you start setting a deadline for each other goals you want to achieve. A limited time frame helps you to work faster on your goals.

Bare mind learning more and doing nothing is a form of procrastination too, if you are only learning all day and doing nothing you are wasting your potential.

Outline a project, and give yourself a limited amount of time to complete that project.

Time blocks & breaks — managing your focus

Manage your time to manage your focus and energy. One of the highest leverage things with your focus you can do on how to manage it efficiently. Taking breaks is as important just as doing the work. Most people make the mistake of doing the work not strategically and at one time for long hours, you will be exhausted.

The human mind is active and fully focused in just 3-4 hours on the 24 hours of a clock in a day. You can use Pomodoro if you want to do 25 minutes of undistracted work and 5 minutes of break. I have a work block of 1 hour for 3 sessions, one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Focused work No bs No distraction.

Use time blocks the best way to manage your focus is to use specific time blocks for each work and the things you do because when you have pre-planned something it is foolish to get distracted by useless pieces of stuff.

Set yourself a time block according to you. The best would be 60 to 90 minutes of blocks of work where you will do your most leveraging work.

Leverage doing the right things.

Most people are stuck in this loop of doing the wrong things. Yes, learning is fine but more learning and taking no action is not. Leverage doing the right things with your time. Don't confuse yourself you should what are the things that you can leverage from. I see most people are always rectifying their logo, profile, banner, website…Before even they have an actual business.

The only things that matter to me are to learn and get a certain level of knowledge and skills in a specific area and teach people to do the same. Network, talk with people and try to land clients. Build more. Don't waste your time on useless stuff before having an actual business. Put in the work that matters.

Routine — becoming efficient

Well, to this point now if you don't have a routine. I recommend you to schedule a routine for yourself.

"If you don't create a routine you will be assigned one."

Dan koe

Creating a daily routine for yourself is the best way to get more effective and efficient with your time. Scheduling routine fixes your time in an orderly so, you don't get confused about what to do next after the new task.

Routine your schedule from the time you wake up to the time you fall into bed. I think an hourly routine will be the best or just the necessary tasks you need to do daily. In an order make them one by one. Take out a piece of paper or just write in your working software where you can check them daily.

An ordered mind is a happy mind and that's what we're going to get with a specific daily routine. When you have a routine for yourself you are more likely to do the task instead of distracting yourself from useless pieces of stuff. Do not overload your routine or it will disrupt your productivity pattern. Getting a routine also helps you overcome your procrastination.
