Optimize Your Mindset (Without Overclocking)
summary
Four concrete, research‑backed tactics: a live mindfulness body scan to lower reactivity, habit design using the cue‑routine‑reward loop with immediate rewards, reframing failure into a growth mindset with “not yet” language, and scheduling 2‑hour deep‑work blocks plus batching and a shutdown ritual. Surprising numbers anchor the advice — 23 minutes to regain depth after an interruption and self‑interrupting every 47 seconds — and practical fixes like turning off notifications and putting the phone in another room.
