Mindset Minute: ‘Focus Time’ Hacks - How to Find Flow and Get Things Done

Perspective:

Ever notice how time flies when you’re deeply focused — yet drags when you’re not? Maybe it’s proof the clock works differently, depending on your mindset.

Mindset Minute: ‘Focus Time’ Hacks: How to Find Flow and Get Things Done

Feeling pulled in ten directions at once? The world is noisy, and staying on track feels harder than ever. But here’s the good news: focus isn’t about being superhuman—it’s about setting the stage. Let’s talk about three simple hacks to create the flow-friendly environment you need to thrive.

1. Clear the Clutter (Mental and Physical):​
   Your brain is wired to notice distractions. Tidy your workspace, both literally and digitally. That means closing extra browser tabs too. Fewer distractions equal sharper focus.
   ​
2. Set a Timer, Not a Marathon:​
   Big projects are daunting, so break them into bite-sized sprints. Try working in 25-minute bursts with a timer, followed by a 5-minute stretch. You’ll get more done in less time.
   ​
3. Control the Noise:​
   Whether it’s a noisy room or mental chatter, quiet your environment. Noise-cancelling headphones or a simple playlist of instrumental tunes can work wonders.
   ​

Deep work doesn’t happen by chance—it happens by design. And the best part? You’re the designer.
