Focus Techniques for Deep Work

Deep focus is a skill, not a personality trait. With the right techniques and environment, anyone can train the ability to concentrate for longer.

Try the Pomodoro technique

Work in 25-minute sprints with 5-minute breaks. The countdown creates urgency, and the breaks keep you fresh.

Remove triggers before you start

Put your phone in another room, close extra tabs and silence notifications. Willpower is unreliable—designing a distraction-free environment is not.
