Effortless focus is simpler than everyone makes it out to be with these easy and fast tools.

I drag myself through the front door at 6 pm and collapse on the couch.

Writing is the last thing I want to do after a long day at work.

But I force myself to my desk even though I can’t even think straight.

And it was only a few minutes before I threw in the towel and started scrolling on YouTube.

I’d woken up that morning with big plans.

After work I’d smash through 2 hours of great writing.

It’s a promise I’d made to myself countless times.

But always seemed impossible to fulfill.

Most people don’t think they have the energy to work toward their goals after work.

There are just too many obstacles between their tired, distracted state and their flow state.

When your work environment isn’t optimized… you’ll inevitably want to quit because of all the distractions.

And it can mean the difference between a meaningful deep work session that brings you closer to your goals or another night of guilty comfort that gets you nowhere.

But there are several easy ways to hi-jack your mind into an effortless flow-state whenever you want… and they only take a click of a button.

No mind hacks or theoretical advice. Just immediate tools for results no matter how tired or unfocused you are.

1. The Full-Screen Button

Your visual and mental focus are interconnected.

That means you won’t reach a flow state if your screen has a million items on it that stretch your attention thin.

So remember to click that F11 button every time you sit down to work and enjoy the calm and focused state it brings.

If you want to take this to the next level… buy a monitor so you can do tasks that need 2 browser windows on full screens only.

2. Dark Mode

Don’t make staring at a screen harder than it needs to be.

Using the traditional “light” mode is a great way to strain your eyes and make you want to quit.

But switching to dark mode will take the pressure off your eyes.

And you’ll be able to focus comfortably for a long time without the constant need to look away.

3. Binaural Beats

These have been an absolute game changer for my focus.

All I have to do is put on some noise cancelling headphones and press play.

And suddenly I can work effortlessly with laser-focus for hours on end while my creativity and mental clarity skyrocket.

You can find these online for free but I prefer to pay for Brain.fm.

The money is well worth the productivity boost.

And now I’m able to write an entire week of Twitter/X content in a single 2 hour sitting.

An Extra Tip

I used to do all my work on my laptop.

And it would make me unfocused after a couple minutes because I’d hunch over the screen and strain my back and neck.

So always elevate your screen.

This can be as simple as stacking up a few books under your monitor until it’s at eye level.

Which will keep you more alert and able to get the job done in no time.

Use these 1-click solutions to cut your work time in half while producing better results without fatigue.

And you’ll reach a consistent flow-state every day to grow a thriving business over the long term.

Take care,
