My Top 3 Playlists To Stop Getting Distracted
In a world where everyone is distracted, deep work is a superpower.
1 hour of Deep Work > 8 hours of shallow work
In 2023, our focus is under constant threat from:
- Ads (tempting consumerism)
- News (triggering emotions)
- Bite-sized content (hooking addiction)
What's worse?
Every disruption not just robs you of 23 minutes, but also sucks your energy dry.

My secret weapon to fend off distractions during deep work sessions?
Noise Cancelling headphones blasting background music.
Pro tip: Wearing over-ear headphones at work shows that you don't want to be disturbed, which can help prevent interruptions.
