Hint 04: The Block
Attention protection
The Technique
Protect your attention with physical blocks:
- Phone in another room during focused work
- Notifications off — All of them. Yes, all.
- Website blockers — Use tools to block distracting sites
- Time blocks — Schedule specific times for specific activities
Make distraction harder than focus.
Why It Works
Friction changes behavior. If distraction is harder than focus, you focus.
