DeTikTok-ing your brain

I got a new client. She's a huge influencer in the personal finance space. I'm talking millions of followers.

She told me she doesn't have the attention span for long-form content anymore. She has trouble reading a blog post from start to finish.

She's over-TikTok'ed her brain.

I wonder how many people today have the same problem. My attention span isn't as bad as hers, but it definitely isn't as good as it used to be. (I know because I can't sit through a whole baseball game without getting bored anymore.)

Do you have the same problem?

Better focus can save you 2-3 hours a day, at least. My focus is pretty bad this week and I'm way less productive than normal. But when I'm fully locked in, I can get a lot more done than the average person.

Here are 3 things I do that I think help me focus better:

1. I meditate for 20 minutes a day.

2. I have a very strict relationship with screens. I spend an hour a day before bed (at least) where I don't look at my phone or computer. I also delete pretty much every single distracting app from my phone and keep it on grayscale.

3. I try really hard to get 8 hours' sleep every night, going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. When I don't get 8 hours sleep, focusing gets way harder.

How can you improve your focus?
