“A Focused Fool can accomplish more than a distracted genius. A man with time and distractions will always lose to a man with a deadline and a singular deadline.”
“It’s never been easier to be successful than it is today. But its never been easier to be distracted .”

- narrow down your visual focus (eyes) https://youtu.be/CrtR12PBKb0?t=3300
- focus on one thing and hold that attention for few minutes. it will release the chemicals needs for attention
- don’t reward you everytime you achieve a small goal (ex: 1 hour goal)
- instead reward you randomly like a casino https://youtu.be/CrtR12PBKb0?t=4127
- not regular rewards.
- not only at the end of achieving that large goal.
- just random (flip a coin that is the best way) Decision making
- remember don’t punish yourself if you couldn’t achieve
- the ideal time to focused work is 90 minutes. then spend around atleast 30 minutes without doing any activity need focus
Research
- Cold water exposure: Exposing yourself to cold water for up to an hour can lead to significant increases in dopamine, which can improve focus and clarity of mind.
- Dim the lights at night: Exposure to bright lights between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. can reduce dopamine levels for several days, making it harder to focus. Dimming the lights at night can help to maintain healthy dopamine levels.
- Avoid exogenous melatonin: Exogenous melatonin can also reduce dopamine levels. If you can find a better alternative to help you sleep, it is recommended to avoid exogenous melatonin.
- Limit the use of stimulants: Stimulants such as caffeine, energy drinks, and pre-workout drinks can deplete dopamine levels over time, making it harder to focus.
- Focus on the effort itself: When you are working on a task, focus on the effort itself rather than the reward. This can help you to access dopamine release from the friction and challenge of the task, making it more enjoyable and motivating.
- Avoid layering in other sources of dopamine: Avoid using other sources of dopamine, such as social media, to get yourself to start or continue a task. This can make it harder to focus on the task at hand.
- Use pea: Pea is a compound found in chocolate that can increase dopamine levels. Taking 500 milligrams of pea can help to improve focus and motivation.
- Use Hooper: Hooper is a compound that can increase acetylcholine transmission, which can also lead to increases in dopamine levels. Taking Hooper can help to improve focus and motivation.
