There are no tricks, no gimmicks, no games. You are most focused when your motivation is aligned to the goal.

This is still somewhat true even for people with ADHD. The difference with ADHD is that low dopamine uptake results in shifts towards induced excitement stimuli that can be distracting unless the goal itself is so exciting as to result in ongoing obsessive behaviors.

If you really emotionally want something to be done you will apply the work to get it done full stop by motivation alone. When this alignment is present the thing that most gets in your way is poor decision making from fatigue. This is how mammalian brains are chemically wired.

So, if you want better focus don’t change your actions. Instead know exactly what to do and why you want it with extreme clarity.
