A 3-Minute Hack for Focus You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
I use this technique when writing and it has helped me publish thousands of stories on the internet.
In 2016 a smart UX Designer shared a tip with me.
I asked her, “How did you sit down for four hours straight and finish that PowerPoint deck?”
Her answer was weird: “Binaural Beats.”
“What The F is that,” I said.
For the next few years I ignored her advice and went back to trying to be creative in complete silence without distractions. It was torture.
Achieving perfect silence is near impossible.
Level 1: Enter Binaural Beats
Sitting down and writing is hard for me. If I lose my attention then I find it difficult to get it back again.
Once I find a flow state, I want to stay there for the rest of the day while I write. Before discovering binaural beats, this was incredibly difficult.
What are binaural beats?
Binaural Beats is essentially music that repeats over and over. There is no actual beat, but instead a tone that is created in your brain as a result of two different frequencies being played at the same time.
