Does this sound familiar?

  • "I know exactly what to do. I just can't start."
  • "I sit down and forty minutes disappear."
  • "I was doing great, and then I got distracted, and now I can't get back on task."

If that's you, sign up to watch the videos. Dr. Locke wants you to know: this is not a willpower problem. Learn what it actually is, and what to do about it.

Try the first step right now.

Your brain pays attention to what it finds interesting. Research in Neuron showed that when people were curious about a question, they remembered the answer better and the brain's reward centers lit up. Curiosity is a door into focus. Lesson 1 teaches you how to open it on purpose, in three steps.

Step one of three

Spark it.

Take one task you've been putting off and ask one question about it that you'd actually like answered. Reading a report? "What's the most surprising thing in here?" Writing something? "What's the one idea worth sharing?"

Step two. Step three.

The two steps that turn a spark into five minutes of real focus, and why they work together, are in the video.
