Have you ever tried to start your day with the best intentions only to have your attention hijacked by email pings, barking dogs, or that mysterious ice maker noise in the kitchen?

Yeah. Same. 

In today's lesson, I'm teaching one of the most underrated (yet powerful) skills for career and life success: how to train your focus like a muscle. 

And I'm not talking about downloading some shiny productivity app. 

I'm talking about something deeper and more effective…

🧠 Mental warm-ups you can do before the chaos of the day begins.
🔥 A simple 10-minute daily ritual to build real focus and willpower.
🎯 Why distraction isn't your fault, but staying distracted is your choice.
💡 How to apply focus training to every task (even cleaning your coffee pot). 

If you want to stop reacting to your day and start directing it, this one's for you…

(You'll thank me before your second cup of coffee.)
