Definition: How you treat your body affects your brain.Example: I slept only 5 hours, ate junk food, and tried to focus. My brain feels like mush.Application: Sleep 7-9 hours, drink water, and move your body. What you eat, drink, and how you rest affects how well you can focus.

Physiology Matters

“Focus is a muscle. The more you train it, the stronger it gets.”

Definition: Schedule your focus time daily.Example: I set aside 9 AM every day as my focus time, no matter what.Application: Set a specific time to focus each day, preferably in the morning. Protect that time. Make it non-negotiable.

Make Focus a Habit

Definition: Anything that pulls your attention steals your focus.Example: I’m in the zone studying, but my phone buzzes with a new TikTok. My focus is gone.Application: Put your phone out of sight. Every time something distracts you, it costs you focus. Control the environment, or it will control you.

Distractions Kill Focus

Focus is hard. You're juggling TikTok, school, and friends—and none of it gets done properly. But guess what? Learning how to focus is the secret to getting way more done, faster. Whether it’s school, hobbies, or work, mastering focus puts you ahead of the game. Let’s break down why you can’t focus and how to fix it.

INTRODUCTION

Definition: Zoning in on one thing, ignoring everything else.Example: I set my phone aside, close the door, and study for 30 minutes without looking up.Application: Aim for one task. Block out everything else. It's hard at first but gets easier with practice.

2. Directed Focus

Definition: A method to alternate focused work with regular breaks.Example: I studied hard for 25 minutes, took a 5-minute break, then repeated it. I got so much done!Application: Try this method for any task. It’s simple and keeps your brain from getting fried while still getting stuff done.

The Pomodoro Technique

Definition: Give your brain time to relax to recharge.Example: I scrolled Instagram during my break and now my brain feels even more tired.Application: Take a proper break. Go for a walk or just sit quietly. Let your brain chill without stimulation so it can come back fresh.

Un-Stimulate Your Brain

Definition: Focusing too long without breaks wears you out.Example: I studied non-stop for 3 hours and now my brain can’t take anymore.Application: Use the Pomodoro technique—work for 25-45 minutes, then take a 5-15 minute break. You’ll stay sharp for longer.

Take Breaks (But Real Ones)

Definition: Trying to do too many things at once.Example: I’m trying to study but keep checking my phone, talking to my mom, and eating snacks.Application: You waste mental energy switching between tasks. Pick one thing, ditch distractions, and focus.

1. Scattered Focus

Definition: You can train your brain to focus.Example: I could only focus for 10 minutes today, but tomorrow I'll try for 15 minutes.Application: Practice focusing for short bursts every day. Over time, you’ll be able to concentrate for longer periods.

Focus Is a Skill

There are two kinds of focus: scattered (multitasking mess) and directed (laser-like attention). You want directed focus—it’s how people who crush their goals get stuff done. But first, you need to understand what's distracting you and how to stop it.

In today's world, being able to focus is almost like a superpower.
You rarely see anyone who's able to concentrate on a single task for hours.
And the individuals who are able to focus, to nobody's surprise, get so much more done than other people.

There are many areas where  you could benefit from better concentration. Whether it's for school, studying, work or a hobby. If you're able to focus you can get your desired results faster.
So today I'll explain what's holding you back from focusing and what you can do to improve it.

Welcome to my channel.

I’m someone who has always loved reading great books and exploring new ideas.
This is a place where I share what I’ve learned along the way.
I draw from different fields, such as psychology, philosophy, biology, economy, and many others, but every single topic falls under the personal growth umbrella.
Using simple words and friendly images, I want to make my content easy to remember so that we can all benefit from it long term.
My main goal is to help us become better than yesterday, one step at a time.

I would like to point out that I’m a one-man army, and I don’t create videos full-time.
For those reasons, all content takes me a while to produce.
New videos once in a blue moon (but worth the wait)! :)
