the deep work routine that changed my life

Block out 1 hour a day, minimum.

Work on 1 meaningful project.

Aim for 1 vision for your future.

Take it 1 day at a time.

You don’t need more motivation, you need more clarity.

You don’t need more time, you need more focus.

If you want more of both, understand this:

Your mind is a supercomputer.

Your attention is the RAM.

RAM — or “random access memory” — is one of the most important parts of a computer, it determines performance.

More programs and browser tabs open = slower performance.

This is no different from your focus.

Humans can process around 50 bits of information per second with their conscious attention (compared to 11 million bits we unconsciously process from skills we have learned).

That adds up to 125 billion bits of conscious information in your lifetime.

That’s your ticking time bomb.

You either invest those 125 billion bits into a better future, or you let distractions clog them up like browser tabs on your computer.
