Proven Brain Hacks to Get More Done in Less Time: The New Science Of Focus
Do you open 10 tabs and forget what you were doing? You’re not alone. Our brains have been conditioned to crave distraction—thanks to tech, stress, and overstimulation. Focus isn’t just about productivity—it’s about presence, creativity, and living a life that feels like yours.
In this episode, I explain how chronic stress and dopamine addiction are training your brain to self-interrupt, making it harder than ever to stay on task. Drawing on insights from researchers like Dr. Gloria Mark, I break down how habits like doomscrolling and multitasking are literally rewiring our prefrontal cortexes.
But it’s not all doom and distraction.
I share powerful, research-based strategies to rebuild your focus muscle—from daily breathing hacks and body doubling to my personal “rule of three” method and compassionate productivity practices. You’ll also hear how I use unstructured rest, deliberate boredom, and digital boundaries to reconnect with what matters most.
If you’ve ever felt like your brain is broken, this episode will help you reconnect with the calm, focused version of you that still exists—just beneath the noise.
We get into:
Why focus is the hidden key to creating a meaningful, joyful life.
How stress hijacks your brain and kills concentration.
Science-backed focus hacks that actually work—no guilt, just relief.
Daily habits to rewire your brain away from distraction and back to clarity.
Why social media mimics slot machines—and how to break free.
