Here are my notes in the vlog of Hamza Ahmed about increasing focus:
- Prioritize Flow
- Find activities that increase your flow state and then find a way to monetize it so it will be your work.
- I like the analogy he shared about the simple life of a fisherman. The fisherman will just go to the sea and start fishing in his flow state so he can have a fish to feed his family. But then, due to changes in society, that fisherman was forced to move to the city and started working inside a gray room while living in a polluted and populated city. After days of sacrifices and hard work, that man will go to the market and finally buy a fish to feed his family.
- More focus:
- Prioritize sleep
- Fix your diet. He prefers low to no carbs and use intermittent fasting
- Communicate with the people around you to set expectations if you are going to have deep work that requires focus and no distraction.
- Remove distractions by setting your gadgets in airplane mode, removing notifications, and setting your phone in silent mode
- Prepare everything the night before from to-do list to actually setting your tools in order
