Summary: Is your environment noisy and distracting when you’re trying to get work done? Are you working 12 straight hours with no breaks for nourishing food and hydration? These things might be directly impacting your ability to focus. In today’s episode, we’ll be talking about why focus is not a skill and rather how it’s a condition of the brain. We’ll discuss the three things that impact your ability to focus. When we can understand that focus is a condition of the brain (it is a brain space we can be in), then we can control the factors that might influence us or help us click into that brain space.
