Focus Quote by S.J. Scott
““create a mini-stack that you’ll complete prior to any activity that requires 100% concentration. Description: First, you need to set aside thirty minutes (one time) to create a simple routine where you identify all the distractions in your life. Then you’ll map out a simple process for how you’ll remove each one. Next, you will complete a five-minute habit before starting an important task. My recommendation is to have it as the last small action in a stack, which can act as a bridge between the routine and your first MIT. Here are a few things you can add to this stack: • Put your cellphone on airplane mode.””
