Our number one concentration killer is constant sensory input wich leads to informtion overload.
Even a small piece of information can hinder focus. If you’re trying to concentrate on a task and you know an email is sitting unread in your inbox, it can reduce your effective IQ by 10 points.
Use tools and processes to minimize the amount of content you consume daily.
Take less short-form content and read long-form pieces. They hold your concentration and help you improve focus.
Eliminate useless things: social media, news, gossip, and other things that you can’t control.
