Core Attention Skills

Six fundamental capabilities that form the foundation of focused performance. Each skill builds upon the others, creating a compound effect over time.

Attention Control

Direct your focus intentionally. Learn to sustain attention on chosen targets while filtering irrelevant stimuli.

Distraction Resistance

Build immunity to interruption. Train your mind to recognize and deflect attention-grabbing triggers.

Cognitive Endurance

Extend your focus window. Develop the mental stamina to maintain high-quality thinking for longer periods.

Mental Reset

Clear cognitive clutter rapidly. Master techniques to restore mental clarity between tasks.

Decision Clarity

Cut through mental noise. Sharpen your ability to evaluate options and commit to choices with confidence.

Focus Recovery

Bounce back from derailment. Develop protocols to quickly regain concentration after unavoidable disruptions.

Methods Lab

Deep-dive into the science and systems behind attention training. Each method is designed to be immediately applicable.

01

The Attention Window

Your attention operates in finite windows. Understanding these natural cycles allows you to work with your brain rather than against it. Most people push through when their attention window closes, degrading both output quality and recovery time.

  • Identify your personal attention rhythm
  • Match task complexity to window capacity
  • Build transition rituals between windows

"Your attention is finite. Spend it wisely."

02

Cognitive Load Management

Every decision, notification, and open tab consumes cognitive resources. Systematic load reduction isn't about doing less—it's about protecting bandwidth for what matters most.

  • Audit your daily cognitive expenses
  • Batch similar decisions together
  • Create default responses for recurring choices

"Every open tab is a tax on your focus."

03

Single-Channel Thinking

The brain processes information through limited channels. Attempting to run multiple streams simultaneously doesn't multiply output—it fragments attention and compounds errors.

  • Eliminate task-switching during deep work
  • Use environmental cues to signal focus mode
  • Practice mono-tasking until it becomes automatic

"Multitasking is a myth. Presence is power."

04

The 90-Minute Performance Cycle

Ultradian rhythms govern your energy and focus in roughly 90-minute cycles. Aligning work sessions to these natural waves produces sustainable high performance.

  • Structure work in 90-minute blocks
  • Schedule recovery periods between cycles
  • Track your peak performance windows

"Work with your biology, not against it."
