Tip number two is to keep the work session sacred and what I mean by this is that when you sit down to do you work and you've chosen your one task, only work on that task. Don't do anything before even if it's light, even if its checking your email, even if its watching a little video on YouTube or even if it's eating. So this comes from a common pitfall that I've noticed in my own work. I will get it into my head that I need to go to a coffee shop because that's my favorite place to focus so I will go to Starbucks and then sometimes I'm a little hungry so I'll get like a little breakfast sandwich, one of those little protein packs and a coffee, and of course I don't wanna do real work while I'm eating so I'll look at Reddit or I'll look at YouTube or I'll do something really really light while I eat that sandwich.

he problem is, now I've gotten myself into a distracted rut and it's very hard for me to transition myself into the real work that I actually went to Starbucks to do. So the change for me is eat breakfast at home or eat whatever meal it is at home and then only go to the coffee shop to get coffee and to do work, no food. (electronic music) A third way to keep your level of focus high is to ensure that you're using the right tools and maintaining them. I love to cook, it's one of my favorite things to do at night when I'm done working. But one of the things that can make me really not want to cook is a dull chef's knife. If you've ever tried to cut an onion or an eggplant or really anything with a dull knife it is not fun to do at all and actually it's pretty dangerous as well. Now on occasions in the past, I've let my knife get dull and a lot of times when that happens, I'll start using it and I'll start cooking a meal but then I'll get frustrated and then we'll just end up ordering take out.

So I've learned that if I wanna be cooking on a consistent basis, which I do because it's healthy and it's fun to do, I need to sharpen my knife on a consistent basis as well. Every couple weeks or every month at the very least. Now this doesn't mean that you need to wait around to have the perfect tools to start doing your work because that is a road you don't wanna go down. But just like a knife's edge dulls a little bit every single time you use it, something like say your computer's file system, gets unorganized every time you use it. So build a little time in your schedule to maintain the tools that you already have and if an opportunity presents itself to acquire a better tool that's not gonna take a ton of time or resources, take it. (electronic music) Now for the fourth and least fun tip on this list. If you want to work with that blistering level of intensity, if you wanna be like Teddy Roosevelt, you need to practice. An intense work ethic is something that is built over time just like the calluses on the hands of a lumberjack. When you start out you might be able to focus intensely for say 20 minutes, but day after day after you keep doing it again and again, that ability is going to grow and strengthen. A couple of years ago I realized that I wasn't reading as many books as I wanted to, so I bet my friend Martin 100 dollars that I would read 25 pages every single day for three months.
