Declutter, set lighting, and eliminate notifications before training. Use noise-cancelling headphones or brown noise playlists to block randomness.
Set a timer and visible goal (words written, problems solved) before each session.
Drill Menu
Use Reaction Time for selective attention, breath counting for sustained attention, and alternating Stroop tasks for flexibility. Stack 3 drills per session (5 minutes each) to cover all attention types.
Finish with a 20-minute deep work sprint that applies the sharpened focus immediately.
Recovery & Anti-Distraction
Practice deliberate breaks—walk outside, stretch, breathe. Avoid toxic breaks (doomscrolling) that reset dopamine sensitivity.
Reflect nightly on distractions you resisted vs. ones that caught you. Design fixes the next day.

Frequently asked questions
Should I train focus in the evening?+
Train when energy is highest—usually mornings. Evenings work only if you are consistent and well-rested.
Do stimulants help?+
They can, but tolerance builds quickly. Rely on sleep, nutrition, and structure first.
