1. Schedule your sessions.
On average, it takes 20-30 minutes to get into a flow state.
Take advantage of this and block out a 1-3 hour period in your calendar.
Build a routine around the same time everyday.
This will develop the habit and make it 10x easier.

2. Focus on one thing.
Each session should have 1 big goal.
Break that goal into smaller tasks.
Write it on a sticky note and keep it near you.
This will remind you what is important and what is noise.

3. Eliminate distractions.
• Put headphones in
• Turn on airplane mode
• Use apps like Freedom or Flora
Lower your input to raise your output.

4. Use a timer.
Knowing that you have a time constraint will make you work harder.
It also has the benefit of preventing you from constantly checking the time and interrupting your focus.

5. Listen to instrumental music.
A 2007 study from Stanford University has shown instrumental music to stimulate the brain and help with focus.
My favourite focus music is Hans Zimmer movie scores and Synthwave.

@Psypreneur @ROGUEWEALTH 6. Reflect afterward the session.
What went well? What didn't?
• Do you need to change the length of time?
• Do you work better at a different time of day?
• Do you need to work on certain tasks before others?
Always optimize for what suits you best.

@Psypreneur @ROGUEWEALTH 7. Reward yourself.
Do something enjoyable.
This will associate positive feelings with completion of the work.
Positive feelings = increased likelihood to repeat in the future.
