Staring at walls to improve focus and productivity
www.alexselimov.com
I came across a video by Simple Lucas describing a routine to improve focus and productivity. The routine was basically: Don’t use any screens/entertainment when trying to focus on work. When you start to feel mentally drained, sit and stare at a wall for x minutes to recover focus. I’ve been trying it, and it’s a very effective (but hard) routine.

    It is indeed quite insane when you reflect on how much information your brain is consuming during a day.

    The starring into the wall seems like a reinvention of meditation. Why not just meditate? I sometimes do that when the brain fog becomes too much. 15 minutes in a nice chair, with some fresh air, and then just try to not think about anything or try to observe the surrounding sounds without reflecting on the sounds itself. It has a really nice effect.
