Most Productivity Hacks Ignore the One Thing That Actually Kills Focus
People love productivity tips.
"Time-block your schedule."
"Batch your deep work."
"Turn off notifications."
Good advice.
But let’s talk about the real focus killer: mental clutter.
It’s not the emails. It’s the unfinished thoughts.
It’s not the meetings. It’s the unresolved stress.
It’s not the distractions. It’s the constant background noise in your mind.
You don’t need more focus hacks.
You need a system to clear your mental desk.
What’s your go-to method for decluttering your mind?

Meditations, mostly — dynamic — works pretty well.
Walking, for e.g. Biking or hiking are the analogues.
@goshatirov That’s a great point — sometimes the best way to quiet the mind is to keep the body in motion.
