How to Unf*ck Your Brain
You’ve told yourself this is it: the year you achieve your goals,
get the freedom you’ve always desired,
and actually make something of yourself.
But after hours of “working,”
you realize you haven’t actually achieved anything.
No real progress has been made.
Most people want to get fit, but they won’t.
Most people want to build a successful business,
but the reality is they won’t.
The reason most people won’t do these things is
because their brains are f*cked.
In order to build anything great,
you must have the ability to focus on one particular task
for hours, days, and weeks on end.
If you cannot do that, you cannot succeed.
Here is how to unf*ck your brain:
Part One: You’re Distracted
Having focus is vital to building anything great.
Focus is simply the ability to dedicate 100% of your attention
to one singular thing.
If you aren’t focused, you are paying attention to multiple things,
otherwise known as distractions.
We are losing the ability to focus.
We can’t do anything anymore without multiple streams of input.
When you constantly check your phone
or multitask without realizing it, you are brainwashing yourself.
You are training your mind to need over-stimulation
and to only function with distractions.
You are likely addicted not to the phone itself,
but to the distraction it provides.
To break this addiction, try this 30-day protocol:
- Isolate the Distraction: Switch off your phone and leave it in another room for 24 hours. Prove to yourself whether you control it, or it controls you.
- The Time Audit: For the next 30 days, split your day into 30-minute segments (from 1:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.).
- Track Your Data: Simply track what you did in each of those 30 minutes. By the end, you will have clear data on the “pointless sh*t” you do in your life.
- Eliminate: Once you see the data, remove the pointless activities.
Part Two: You’re Probably Confused
Most people don’t know what to do with their lives
because they don’t know what they want.
When you don’t know what you want, you can’t know what to do,
leaving you in a state of confusion.
This stage is the Anti-Zone. It is that stage in life
where you want to do something,
but you don’t know where to start, so you do nothing.
You either never work on anything great,
or you work on the wrong thing and end up with nothing but regret.
To get out of this stage, you need to enter The Zone.
The Zone is a state of flow,
highly recognized by top athletes and business owners.
It is that feeling when you are so deep in a task that
the outside world doesn’t seem to exist,
like being lost in a video game, but applied to your real life.
To enter The Zone, you must clearly define two things:
- Where do you actually want to go? Don’t over-complicate it. Just sit and think until you have your answer.
- The steps to get there. Once the goal is defined, figure out the specific steps required to reach it.
As long as you take action on these steps every day,
you will remain in The Zone—a hyper-state of focus
with steady progress—until you reach your destination.
Part Three: Your Diet is Sh*t
As humans, we operate inside a system with inputs and outputs.
- Inputs: Food, sleep, and information consumption.
- Outputs: Energy, focus, work quality.
Inputs have a direct effect on outputs.
If you sleep for two hours, you perform like sht.
We know this, yet we ignore our diet. If you eat like sht,
you are going to think like sh*t.
You cannot build anything great with a brain
that isn’t functioning properly.
If you want to change your life and improve your outputs,
fix your inputs first.
It is all well and good to find your goal and plan the steps,
but if you are driving a broken vehicle,
no matter how hard you try, you won’t get there.
Stop neglecting your physical health.
Give yourself good inputs,
and the great outputs will come 10 times easier.
Only then will you have a clear, unf*cked brain.
