How to Create Focus and Minimize Distractions in Aid Work

“If you don't produce, you won't thrive—no matter how skilled or talented you are.”  Cal Newport, author of “Deep Work” Noisy generators.  Crowing roosters.  Loud music. Working in the aid world can be very distracting! Not to mention all the email, texts and other notifications. Sometimes it's hard to create an environment for focus. So you can do the IMPORTANT work.... concentrated work. The work that will make the most impact. But sometimes given all the challenges, creating a way to focus seems almost impossible! In this episode Chen Kadungure and myself discuss how you can create more focus in your work week--- whether you're working from home, or in an open plan office.   Resources mentioned: Deep Work by Cal Newport Lowfi Beats Dehydration and Lack of Focus Mark Huberman podcast on focus Ragdoll stretching pose
