In this video I talk about training focus like a muscle—because that’s genuinely how it behaves in real life. If you treat focus like something you either “have” or “don’t have,” you’ll keep relying on motivation and willpower. My approach is minimalist: build a simple system where you show up consistently, reduce friction, and practice focusing in small, repeatable reps. That’s the core of “Run Study Lift” for me—keep moving, study with intention, and lift the basics until they’re automatic. The main takeaway is that focus gets stronger when you train it under constraints: fewer inputs, fewer decisions, and a clear next step. I’m not trying to romanticize deep work—I’m trying to make it reliable. The goal is to create an environment and routine that makes the default action “start,” even on low-energy days. If you want more of my notes and systems around this, I link my Substack so you can follow along and keep it simple.
