I was absolutely amazed at my ability to produce 80,000 words of a novel in a matter of months. There was no magic bullet or guru imparting writing strategy. I made the decision that each day I would engage in a routine that would open my brain and spark my creativity.

This is deep focus. It is about taking a set period of time to free yourself from the never ending distractions and interruptions to allow yourself a moment of stillness and recovery. It is in these moments that creativity, innovation and productivity abound.

For years, I've worked to incorporate this regimented approach to deep focus as a business owner and 9 to 5er. I must say that some of my greatest successes have come as revelations during those moments of deep focus. This episode highlights five ways to get into deep focus so that you can experience deliberate productivity.

In this episode, you will hear...

1. Why deep focus is an art and not a science


2. How time fragments lower productivity
