How to Hack Your Brain Into Flow State Daily
Part 2 of 3: The Productivity Prescription Series
In Part 1, we laid the non-negotiable biological foundation: optimizing your sleep, nutrition, and movement to prime your brain for high performance.
However, you can have the most well-rested, perfectly-fueled brain in the world, and still get nothing done.
Why?
Because in 2025, your brain is under constant attack. Every notification, every “urgent” email, every social media feed is a precision-engineered weapon designed to hijack your attentional system.
The modern “attention economy” is built to break your focus and steal your most valuable asset: YOUR TIME.
Your brain evolved in a world of scarcity, where a rustle in the bushes (a potential threat or meal) had to grab your attention.
Today, your smartphone creates a thousand “rustles in the bushes” every hour. The result is a state of “continuous partial attention,” where we’re never fully present, our work is shallow, and we end the day feeling busy but not productive.
But there is hope.
You can train your brain to manage distractions and enter the state of “flow” (or “deep work”) where productivity becomes effortless and deeply satisfying.
In today’s post, we’ll dive into the neuroscience of why you’re so distracted and provide a step-by-step plan to reclaim your focus.
To make it easy, you will also get the “Deep Work Focus Bubble Toolkit,” a downloadable worksheet to audit your distractions, design your “notification-zero” environment, and train your brain for deep work.
