FMBEMPIRESFMB GUIDE / FOCUS
Make the next step easier to start.
When your attention is scattered, a smaller plan can be more useful than a longer to-do list. Pick one thing, reduce friction, and give yourself a way back after distraction.
A SMALL RESET
A ten-minute focus reset.
This is a simple starting exercise, not a productivity test. Adapt the time to your work, energy, and responsibilities.
- 01Choose the one task that would make today feel a little more complete.
- 02Write the very first visible action and set a ten-minute timer.
- 03Silence one avoidable interruption. If you get pulled away, return to the written first action.
