I read only Hyper Focus.
Paying our complete attention to a task. The author calls it "occupying the attentional space". In short mindfulness.
During our occupied task, our minds always think about other multiple things. You should notice the information and bring it back to your current task.
This happens many a time for me. Have you experienced the same? Did you try to concentrate back again on your work?
He divided this into two parts. Hyperfocus is concentrating on one task.
Scatter focus- concentrating on where our mind wanders.
Ultimately, it's FOCUS.
Hyperfocus requires willpower and mental energy to activate.
He divided the scatter focus into 3 ways.
Capture mode: just capture whatever comes to your mind.
Problem crunching mode: holding the problem in your mind and letting your thoughts wander around it. ( In short, think about the problem and the multiple solutions. This will lead to hyper-focus)
Habitual mode: while doing a task, capturing valuable ideas and plans.
Of course, he covered medication and mindfulness.
Lots of repetition.

It has some great tips and tricks. Some that are very obvious.

When if comes to using hyperfocus at work, I got a bit bored there. Mainly because the part seem to be aimed at CEOs and those at leadership positions. If you are general staff, you do not have a lot of power over where you work and how. You cannot check your emails at certain times, cannot medidate at your office and are likely to work at open office sort of space. You also have to love your job or feel some sort of passion for it to want to hyperfocus at work. Perhaps that’s where I go wrong. It your job was meaningful and hyperfocus brought some clear results and rewards, you would be more interested in hyperfocusing.

However, I found some interesting points when it comes to personal life, therefore, I give the book 4 stars.

A very helpful book that explains hyper and scattered focus. And how to enter each mode to attain maximum productivity. I highly recommend this book which will help readers how to control when our thoughts freely wander and distracted. It all about how you train your brain in each mode.
