In our last episode, we met Dina, a senior director whose racing thoughts made it hard to slow down and focus. Jay was joined by Maura Thomas, a globally recognized productivity expert and author, who explained that it’s not time we manage, it’s attention. In this solo episode, Jay expands on that idea and shares five powerful strategies to help you reclaim your focus and train your attention. Drawing on science and lived experience, Jay explores how attention works like a muscle and offers specific tools to strengthen it. From meditation and mindful movement to setting rules for your devices, each method is designed to help you reduce reactivity, increase presence, and create more meaningful productivity. Jay reveals how simple daily choices, like allowing yourself to be bored, going “monk mode,” or removing unnecessary notifications, can retrain your brain to stay anchored on what truly matters. By applying even one of these practices, you’ll start to notice more calm, clarity, and control throughout your day. If you’ve been feeling scattered or easily pulled off track, this episode will give you the tools to master your attention and make your focus your greatest advantage.
