focus and habits

There’s a neverending conversation about how to improve our focus, our attention, our performance.

One way to look at it is to view it through the “tools” lenses: Applications to help you, tricks and techniques to guide you, etc.

These are all great options, nonetheless there are alternatives. One of which is habits. 

One of the many issues with focus is that it is not our default action, we are dragged by thoughts, and we don’t have “focus on my current work” as our reaction. We don’t default to it.

Training for this, when possible, can be another way to achieve better focus.
