Key wellness & attention-fix strategies (5 steps)

  1. Start with “why” (purpose-based focus)

    • Identify why you want your attention back.
    • Write down your purpose (e.g., family, values, serving God, building your homeland).
    • Use it as your direction and energy source.
  2. “Kill the leeches” (remove attention hijackers)

    • Create a no-phone zone during deep work (phone stays in another room).
    • Silence notifications (turn off alerts; handle urgent matters by allowing calls if needed).
  3. Begin deep work with a ritual

    • Use a consistent pre-focus routine, such as:
      • 15 push-ups, or
      • light a candle
    • The goal is to cue your brain that it’s time for deep work.
  4. Move like a hunter (fight mental “sleep mode”)

    • Don’t stay motionless for long; movement helps prevent the brain from downshifting.
    • Practical schedule:
      • Beginners: move every 30 minutes + 10 push-ups
      • If you already have good focus: move every 60 minutes + 20 push-ups
    • Day-end target mentioned:
      • 100 push-ups and an “automatic full-body workout.”
  5. Build a supportive community (“good brothers and sisters”)

    • Surround yourself with people who model good habits.
    • Mutual support helps during bad days.
    • Mentions forming/joining a “grims circle” for real projects, focus, and accountability.
