Create a Focus Zone for Yourself
The easiest way to create a distraction-free zone for yourself is to use your cell phone. Wait, what??
News flash! You are being constantly distracted and pulled off task by your cell phone. The notifications, texts, and videos are relentless. There are even notifications that bypass Do-Not-Disturb (DND) settings. So when you really need to get something done and focus, how do you do it?
Leila Hormozi, CEO for Acquisition.com, rewards herself with her cell phone after long periods of deep work or focus. That's right. She uses the very thing that causes the distractions as an enticing reward for getting work done.
Here are Leila's pro-tips for creating a focus zone.
- Do not put the phone near you. Put the phone on the other side of the room.
- Silence the phone.
- Do not touch the phone until you have completed said major task.
Easy mode.
