How to Hack Your Mind Into a State of Productivity
Even if we have ideal environments and bodies for productivity, our minds can still hold us back.
Here are 5 ways to condition your mind to focus:
#1 Stay Persistent
It might take months to see a result, so it’s key to keep going.
Rely on an app or a “no zero days” method.
#2 Learn Yourself
You can start learning your patterns by paying attention to yourself and your moods.
Once you have learned them, you can predict, plan accordingly, and adapt your workflow to these states instead of resisting them.
#3 Focus on Your Long-Term Goals
While the thirst for instant rewards is strong, make sure to focus on what matters.
Your thoughts of procrastination have no power until you give power to them.
Ignore them and stay focused on your goals.
#4 Meditate
The goal of this is to train your concentration and become more self-aware of what’s going on.
This practice offers a chance to step out of your daily routine and return with a fresh mind.
It also helps you let go of daily stressors so you don’t exhaust yourself.
#5 Work on Something Worth Doing
Make sure you aren’t spending your life on fruitless nonsense.
It will burn you out.
Find something worth doing that makes you feel satisfied.
