10 Tiny Daily Habits to Help You Achieve Peak Focus and Productivity

Focus is a superpower in today’s distracted world

Today, the average person has an 8-second attention span and checks their smartphone a whopping 344 times a day!

Once distracted, it can take up to 23 minutes to regain peak focus — so the majority have 24/7 shattered focus.

Amidst this sea of distracted, low-efficiency workers, a sharp focus is an unfair advantage—that can help you beat even smarter people.

“I don’t care how much power, brilliance or energy you have. If you don’t harness it and focus it on a specific target, you’re never going to accomplish much.”

— Zig Ziglar

I want to share 10 tiny daily habits to sharpen your focus—and also boost other areas of your productivity.

Instagram DMs can wait — your dreams and goals can’t.

At Least 5 Minutes of Sweating It Out

Working out is physically exhausting — but mentally rejuvenating.

Research has proven that exercise boosts your cognitive function and reduces anxiety. By releasing endorphins, it boosts your happiness as well.

The combined result is a healthier, happier, and more productive Homo Sapien.

Exercise needn’t mean killing yourself in the gym — a run with your dog, biking under a green canopy, a quick bodyweight workout, or a brisk park stroll works.
