    I do, especially since I joined PH, and there are many tasks I need to complete to prepare for my first launch.

    For me, it’s been about balancing screen time. I’ve been trying to take more frequent breaks away from screens and do something physical, like a quick walk, to reset my focus.

    That decline is a generational problem. Thank you, cheap dopamine form social media, now we can't focus on anything that takes longer that 30 seconds to watch

    Yes, I’ve definitely notice my focus slipping lately. I think all the screen time and constant notifications are a big part of it.

    Yeah, definitely noticed the same thing. I find my focus drifting more easily these days, especially when working on tedious or mentally draining tasks. Been trying to take more frequent short breaks to reset my mind, which seems to help a bit. Curious what others have found useful for improving concentration!

    I noticed it last year, and it was because of Vitamin B12 deficiency.

    I’ve had the same issue! I used to able for focus hours, but now I get distracted so easily. I’ve started doing meditation and setting timers for tasks to help, but it’s definitely a challenge

    Definitely. I find that working in short bursts and then resting help a lot

    Yes, that is true. I decided to remove all distractions, live my life only on schedule in Google Calendar and Asana tasks, remove all notifications from my phone except urgent from my wife, remove any social media apps from my phone home screen. And it really helped me.

    Yep, been struggling with focus lately too. Started using the Pomodoro technique and it's helping a bit. 25 min focus sprints with short breaks. Maybe give that a shot?
