hyperfocus

our work takes 50 percent longer, compared with 
doing one task from start to completion.
If you’re working on a pressure- or deadline-
free project, consider taking a break before starting something else so more of that 
attentional residue can dissipate. As far as your productivity is concerned, the best time 
to take a break is after you’ve finished a big task. 
THE QUALITY OF YOUR ATTENTION 
Intention is the bouncer of your attentional space
—it lets in the productive objects of 
attention and keeps the distractions out. Few things will benefit your overall quality of 
life more than focusing with intention. It isn’t possible to work and live with intention 100 
percent of the time
—demands get in the way, our focus shifts, and our attentional space 
overflows
—but we can maintain our intention for enough of the day to accomplish a lot 
more than we would otherwise. 
This cha
pter has been largely theoretical. In order to put its advice into practice, you’ll 
need to do several things: set intentions more often, modify your environment to be less 
distracting, overcome the mental resistance you have to certain tasks, eliminate 
distractions 
before
they derail you, and clear the distractions inside your own head. The 
subsequent chapters cover each of these ideas in turn, but understanding the principles 
behind them is essential. 
Choosing where your attention is focused and maintaining a clear attentional space 
accomplishes several things at once. You will 

accomplish what you intend to much more often; 

focus more deeply, because you become a better defender of your 
attentional space; 

remember more, because you’re able to more deeply process what you’re 
doing; 

experience less guilt and doubt, knowing you’ve worked with intention; 

waste less time working on unimportant things; 

fall victim to fewer distractions
—both external and internal; 

experience greater mental clarity, reduced stress, and fewer feelings of being 
overwhelmed; 

feel a stronger purpose behind your work, because you’ve chosen what’s 
worthy of your attention (working with intention also prevents you from 
experiencing feelings of “dullness,” which stem from having a lack of 
purpose); and 

develop deeper relationships and friendships as you spend more attention, 
not just time, with people. 
There are numerous ways to measure the quality of your attention, but I’ve 
developed three measures to track my own progress. You can use these yardsticks to 
measure your progress as you adopt the tactics in this book into your life: 
1. How much of your time you spend intentionally 
2. How long you can hold your focus in one sitting 
3. How long your mind wanders before you catch it

Now it’s time to get tactical.
