Productivity A to Z: Part 1, Letters A through M with Mike Vardy

One thing I've learned from years of talking about productivity is that focus doesn't happen automatically, but sometimes it begins with a cue. Sometimes it's something that you use to tell your brain, okay, we're working now. Brain FM is that for me. Brain FM is functional music designed for specific states like focus. relaxation, meditation, and sleep and more.

And for work, I like to think of it as a simple focus ritual. I pick the mode, I press play, and then I use that at the start of a work block. You can do it too. Treat it like an experiment.
