If you sit down to work and spent 32 minutes scrolling Instagram, try this instead.
If you sit down to work and somehow an hour disappears before you’ve done anything real, if your brain feels like it has seventeen tabs open at all times, if you know what you need to do but just can’t seem to start — this one’s for you.
Focus isn’t just about discipline. It’s shaped by your environment, your nervous system, the thousand things running through your head, the mess you can see from where you’re sitting, and whether the task feels so overwhelming you’d rather do literally anything else. Modern life is genuinely very good at scattering our attention — and if you have caring responsibilities, a neurodivergent brain, or kids who can interrupt you at any moment, that’s even more true.
This unit starts by asking why you’re struggling to focus, because you can’t fix something if you don’t know what’s causing it. Then it gives you a practical framework — the ABCs of a good focus session — that covers everything from arranging your environment to grounding your nervous system to incentivising yourself at the end. It also covers lost time: the hours that disappear through scrolling, overthinking, perfectionism, and distraction, and what to do about them.
Who this is for
Anyone who struggles to focus consistently, especially if you’re neurodivergent, ADHD, or just living a very full life with very little uninterrupted time. Also useful if you know what you need to do but keep finding yourself not doing it, and can’t quite work out why.
What you’ll cover
The ABCs of a good focus session — a nine-part framework covering: arranging your environment, brain dumping first, clarifying the task, defining the time container, easing anxiety, focusing on the end goal, grounding your body, holding the focus, and incentivising yourself at the end. Plus a section on lost time — where it actually goes and what questions to ask yourself to start reclaiming it.
What’s included
- A full video training (around 30 minutes)
- A printable ABCs of a good focus session reference sheet
- Transition trio ideas to help your brain shift between modes
- An introduction to Stop the Spiral, the free productivity tool built around this method
- Guidance on phone blockers, accountability tools like Focusmate, and practical ways to hold focus once you’ve found it
