S3E3 - How to focus when you’re chronically distracted

When was the last time one Insta reel led to another and 20min later you are wondering why you are watching kitchen remodelling videos? When was the last time just a glance at the latest ping on your phone didn't lead to checking messages on four other Whatsapp groups? When was the last time you had a video conversation where you did nothing but watch the speaker and listen, without a silent toggle to another tab?

In this episode, Subha and Hasita talk about why focus tools and techniques fail so often and think about guilt-free ways to focus, while also having fun. Can focus be just about doing something deeply for a significant period of time? Does focus have to lead to productivity? And why the 'put-your-phone-away' line of advice is near impossible for most of us. Tune in!
