One Simple Focus Hack You Probably Don't Know About

I've published 300+ original stories in the past seven months and ghostwritten, edited, and approved for publishing 400+ more.

My output depends on my focus, and my focus depends on my playlist. When it comes to work, producing more in less time means that you can seize valuable moments with your family and friends. You can even focus on your hobbies, enroll in a yoga class, or learn a new language.

More effectiveness equals more time for joyful moments, and you can achieve better output with the right music.

The difference between super-achievers and the rest of us is time management.

Tim Ferriss is an excellent example of a person who has perfect control over his time. Tim is a bestselling author, Salsa champion, angel investor, podcaster, kickboxing champion, globetrotter, and an excellent cook. You've probably heard about Tim Ferriss one too many times by now, and I'm not planning to bore your down with his story.

Opposite Tim Ferriss is 99% of people that are too busy and never actually amount to their desires and aspirations.

You can wear yourself down with stress and bad habits, eventually grow dissatisfied and miserable. We all know an example of someone who is just frustrated around the clock. How does it all connect to the music you're playing at work?

Sometimes you need an extra nudge to help you sit down and deal with that stack of papers that you're putting away for far too long. You're probably thinking about connecting yourself to the caffeine drip to find any joy in your next task.

Coffee is a great stimulant, but one cup over the limit can make you anxious and incoherent, which leads to diminished productivity and overall dissatisfaction.

Digital writers, NASA physicists, and Google programmers all agree that getting in the right state of mind is essential for staying at the top of your game.

I'm listening to Binaural beats every time I have to do the heavy lifting at work. Some days require 5,000-word stories and three articles for clients. On other days, binaural music is purely motivational and I can jump to work without overthinking the whole situation. You can play it in your headset and unplug from daily distractions.

Binaural beats help with working memory by strengthening the connection between sides of the brain.
