but also your work environment, that is a big deal.

I would also say that environmental design for focus is things like on our podcast, we had a conversation about clean environment like clean air.

You could go three weeks without food, you go three days without water, but you go three minutes without air.

Most people drink when it comes to water, two liters of water a day, but we will breathe 17,000 liters of air.

And you have no idea what mold, with neurotoxins coming from perfumes or candles or the off-gassing on furniture, besides what's out in the city environment, the effect it has on our nervous system.

So I would say environmental design for focus.

So are you controlling your environment as best you can to completely focus?

Because your external world is a reflection of your internal world.

And if you have a lot of mess around, it takes unconscious energy to be able to keep track of all these different things.

And that's wasted focus, right?

It's diffused, not directed.

So attention is a skill, but it's not just a skill.

It's a training protocol.

So like for your environment, are you reducing visual clutter?

So it's not stressing out that.

Are you removing digital noise?

You set focus windows of a certain amount of time that you're going to work.

How do you hide your phone in another room?

I think one of the most important functions of your phone is airplane mode.

And are you working with intention, right?
