This is super useful, I often feel like my focus is fragile and can be broken by external factors. The idea of getting in control of my focus as more than a “fleeting feeling” is a great thing to aspire to. Thanks!

The quality of your videos just keep getting better ! Thank you Ali 😊

What I got from this video is that we can employ very small, almost minuscule things to regain or train us to focus better. The key is finding those small things and attributing energizing feelings to them that will urge us to focus on the task at hand
-
I really love how you make productivity accessible and achievable for the common person.
