The Complete Focus Guide
Deep dive into the science and practice of sustained attention
The 3 Layers of Focus
Focus emerges from the interaction of three distinct layers that you can actively optimize.
- • Remove visual distractions
- • Use noise-canceling or ambient sounds
- • Control lighting for alertness
- • Close unnecessary tabs
- • Consistent sleep schedule
- • Stay hydrated
- • Strategic caffeine timing
- • Movement breaks every 90 min
- • Set clear intentions
- • Notice when attention drifts
- • Use If-Then planning
- • Build metacognitive awareness
The 25-5 Focus Sprint
Short, structured work intervals help train attention without burnout.
- 1Choose ONE task — Be specific. Not 'work on project' but 'draft introduction section.'
- 2Eliminate distractions — Phone away, browser extensions active, door closed.
- 3Set timer for 25 minutes — Commit fully. Jot thoughts on a capture sheet without breaking focus.
- 4Work with full attention — Notice when mind wanders. Gently return focus. This is the practice.
- 5Break for 5 minutes — Stand up, look away from screens, move. Don't check email.
- 6Repeat for 4 rounds — After four sprints, take a longer 15-30 minute break.
