The 1-Minute Ghost: The Art of Ruthless Focus
Most people lose focus in 10 minutes. Here’s how to make yours last for hours.

“Your focus determines your future. But only if you protect it like your life depends on it.”
Every day, the world fights for your attention.
But here’s the truth: if you don’t control your focus, someone else will profit from it.
One study found that people check their phone 96 times per day.
That’s every 10 minutes.
No wonder you feel scattered.
Here’s how I protect my focus like a warrior:
1. One screen rule.
If I’m working, no phone in sight. If I’m reading, no laptop nearby.
One task. One screen. No leaks.
2. Start with silence.
Before I start anything, I take 60 seconds of silence.
It’s a mental reset. Try it — you’ll feel the shift.
3. Block noise, create rituals.
I use the same playlist, same chair, same start time.
It tells my brain: “This is focus mode.”
Protect your attention.
Because where your focus goes, your life goes.
