Do You Sometimes Sit Down At the Computer,and You SWEAR You’ll Be Productive?
And the Next Thing You Know, It’s Eight Hours Later?
You have a task or want to finish a project. Maybe you need to finish a report for your boss, writing a blog article or your thesis…
You feel motivated at night thinking about what you’ll get done the next day. But the motivation fades quickly and you end up asking yourself why you aren’t following through today.
You decide upon your goals with huge motivation, but itdoesn’t last very long.
- Just check email for a minute…
- Just reply to that comment on Facebook…
- Just watch that ONE video on Youtube…
- Just say hi to a friend who just logged onto Skype.
And before you know it, the DAY IS OVER.
WHICH TYPE SOUNDS
MORE LIKE YOU?
Are you one of the VERY FEW people who have ENOUGH SELF-DISCIPLINE to take regular breaks and avoid distractions of all kind?
Or are you distracted easily by Facebook, Reddit, Youtube, Forums, News Sites, Emails, Games, etc. all the time?
THE PROBLEM
YOU LOSE 23 MINUTES EACH TIME YOU SWITCH TASKS
Studies show that every time you check email, a social feed, or respond to a notification, your mind requires 23 minutes of re-focus time to get back on task
MULTITASKING IS 40% LESS PRODUCTIVE
While you may feel incredibly productive jumping around putting out a lot of fires, you are actually 40% less productive when multitasking. Other studies show that multitasking will decrease your IQ by 10 points!
WILLPOWER IS A FINITE RESOURCE
Willpower, much like other resources, is finite. We only have so much and we use it up fast. Ignoring distractions takes effort that results in a temporary depletion of willpower. And while we try to ignore it or shut it off, the digital world is intentionally designed to win the battle.

KEY FEATURES
DELAY DISCOUNTER
Delay discounting is a mind trick recommend by behavioural scientists like Kelly McGonigal. Researchers found out that the longer you have to wait for a reward (e.g. checking your favourite social media site or playing a game online) the less it is worth to you. The reason is that your brain chooses immediate gratification at the cost of future rewards.However, the good news is: Even small delays can dramatically lower the perceived value of any temptation.
In practice that means your urge to visit Facebook, Reddit, Youtube etc. or playing a game has only a narrow window of opportunity to overwhelm your brain. As soon as there is any distance between you and the temptation, the rational part of your brain takes over.
COMMITMENT-ENHANCER
Committing one’s future self to do the thing you KNOW you should be doing to achieve your goal.
Here is what scientists recommend:
- Create a new default:
Make choices now when you are rational. Once you made your choice
- Make it more difficult to reverse your preferences. Get rid of temptation when you need to work. FindFocus will not make it impossible that you procrastinate away from your computer but at least you won’t spend your time on Facebook, Youtube or Reddit.
The Problem:
We are rotational as long as everything is in theory but when the temptation is real, your brain shifts into reward-seeking mode to make sure you don’t miss out.
- Motivate your Future Self
