Full story in the podcast).I feel you. My concentration is a mess some days. During this a 20-minute walk I share a super simple 3-step hack I use to shut down distraction and find some actual focus.Here’s what we chat about:The "Just One Thing Rule" I use to figure out what really matters in the middle of the chaos.My "tangled knot of yarn" trick for tackling huge projects.A sprinkle of brain science about why a simple walk primes your brain so you can stay on task.The 5-minute “hide-under-your-desk” reset I stole from a TV show (you’ll love it).If your brain feels like a closet you are afraid to open, this one’s for you.P.S.
