The focus formula, or Focus Mode as we call it at Cajun Koi, is a habit that conditions your brain to focus when you need it to. It's as if you're tricking your brain to focus at will. If focus is a muscle, then this is the exercise that trains it.
🙏 Thanks for watching!

U - Urgency: Use urgency as motivation to focus by creating consequences/working w/ a timer. S - System: Establish a system of accountability, regularly use the Focus checklist to condition the brain into a state of deep focus

thank you for the summary however the s stands for the surroundings so the modification will be: F - Familiar: Create a routine/ritual to increase focus through repeated familiar experiences. O - Objectives: Set clear and specific goals for the focus session to avoid multitasking and increase efficiency. (What, when, where, how long) C - Capture: Write down internal distractions to keep the mind clear and focused. U - Urgency: Use urgency as motivation to focus by creating consequences/working w/ a timer. S -Surroundings: make sure that your enviroment is free from distractions(phone, games) and don't forget to prepare everything that you are going to use while studying(water, food, books, pens) (i just copied your list to modify it)

Short Summary: The average mind wanders 47% of the time, but with the ability to train yourself to shift into a state of deep focus, you can get more done in an hour than most people can do in an entire day. To help with this, the authors have come up with an acronym to better remember and apply a checklist, which is called "FOCUS." The idea is to always use this checklist whenever you want to focus, and over time, you condition yourself to draw a subconscious connection between the checklist and being in a state of deep focus. The FOCUS acronym stands for Familiarity, Objectives, Capture, Urgency, and Surroundings. Familiarity involves creating a routine or ritual that conditions your brain, such as listening to the same pump-up song or running through the same Focus checklist. Objectives mean having a clearly defined objective on what you're going to be doing before trying to get focused, so you know exactly what you're going to be doing and for how long. Capture is how to deal with internal distractions, such as capturing distracting thoughts on a distraction sheet or a digital note. Urgency involves creating a sense of urgency to grab your attention, such as making a deal with someone to pay them a certain amount of money if you don't finish your homework. Finally, Surroundings involve optimizing your environment to help you focus, such as minimizing distractions, setting up your workspace for success, and creating a physical and mental boundary to protect your focus. It's important to note that this method won't work if you're too sleepy, exhausted, sick, hungry, or in any other physiological condition. Focus mode is purely a mental skill, so it doesn't fix your physical problems.

Quick summary! The video is about a focus checklist called "FOCUS" that helps individuals improve their productivity and focus. The acronym stands for Familiar, Objectives, Capture, Uninterrupted, and Sensory Environment. Familiar refers to having a routine or ritual to start focusing, Objectives refer to having clear and defined goals for the focus session, Capture refers to eliminating both external and internal distractions, Uninterrupted refers to having uninterrupted focus time, and Sensory Environment refers to having a suitable environment for focus. The checklist is designed to be used repeatedly to help train the brain into a state of deep focus.

Summary (ChatGPT): This video is about a 2-minute habit that can help someone enter a state of deep focus. The habit is called the Focus Formula and consists of four steps: familiar, objectives, capture, and urgency. The idea is to use this checklist whenever someone wants to focus, and over time, they condition themselves to draw a subconscious connection between the checklist and being in a state of deep focus. The video emphasizes that this method won't work if someone is too sleepy, exhausted, sick, hungry, or in any other physiological condition. The video provides tips on how to apply each step of the Focus Formula, such as having clearly defined objectives, capturing distracting thoughts, and creating urgency by using time pressure or accountability. Finally, the video notes that familiarity can be physical or mental and can range from using the same study blanket every time to running through the same Focus checklist and treating it as a ritual to help achieve neuroplasticity.

I usually get internal distraction. There are many thoughts in my head when I am working or studying. Recently, I use Pomodoro, I set 25 minutes and break 5m. I realize that many thoughts appear. I can't focus on my lesson. I haven't found out what method or ways to solve it. I think that your suggestion about Capture made us distract haven't tell or solve the deep or original of problems about internal distraction. However, I am so grateful for your video. Thank you.

Yeees, good video i agree To enhance focus during deep work, it's important to set up a distraction-free environment. This means keeping your smartphone and any other potential distractions out of sight and out of reach. You might also consider finding a quiet space where you can work without interruptions. Before diving into your work, it can be helpful to make a checklist of any items you might need nearby. This could include a water bottle to stay hydrated, a pair of reading glasses or oculos, or a pencil for note-taking. By having everything you need within reach, you can minimize the risk of interruptions and stay in the flow of your work for longer periods of time.
