Ep. 125 | Beat Procrastination and Own Your Focus with Chris Bailey

We can have dreams. We can have skills. We can have powerful beliefs, mindsets, and approaches to bring these to life —but if we're missing focus... Nothing will come to life. In a hyper-distracted, 24/7 stimulus world, focus isn't only are —it's a rarity to find. This is why the latest Academy podcast welcomes Chris Bailey —blogger, author and all around master of productivity, focus and getting more done (with less time and energy.) During this conversation, you'll learn: Why Chris does cleanses of all types to reset The power and benefits of fasting for life and business Why attention is our most important asset How to create white space and open time to recharge Why we must balance the doing with the "being" The cost of distraction (it takes 26 minutes to get back to where we were) How to start your day by owning your attention The benefits of a nightly "shutdown" ritual for our lives Why FOMO is mainly made up and we're not missing much The power of daily disconnection and digital minimalism Reset your mind and addiction to noise in 8 days or less Why Chris spent a month making himself bored ...and so much more to help you take control of your attention and focus once and for all!
