I was impressed by the level of detail the book provided in such a concise format. It offered practical insights into the various distractions we face and ways to overcome them. The action plans in each chapter were particularly useful and something I plan to implement for the next 90 days.
This book is for everyone. Whether you are a student studying for an important exam, a professional looking to make better use of your time at work, or someone looking to break free from the distractions of social media, this book has something to offer.
# **🚀 The Book in a Nutshell**
1. Harnessing the power of focus can have a positive impact on all aspects of your life.
2. This book is a practical guide to help you navigate the distractions of today's world and focus on what truly matters.
3. The book is easy to read, providing concise information and actionable steps to help you move from learning to doing.
The three key practices I learned from "Powerful Focus" have significantly improved my focus and productivity in both my personal and professional life.
1. Practicing Ruthless Elimination:
I have learned to identify and eliminate distractions, such as social media notifications, and unnecessary tasks, so I can concentrate on what's truly important. For instance, I have disabled notifications for Instagram, YouTube, and other "open systems" designed to steal my attention.
2. Minimizing Distractions:
Focusing on one task at a time and reducing interruptions has allowed me to stay focused and avoid procrastination. I have implemented a consistent morning routine for the next 90 days to minimize internal distractions, and disabled social media notifications for external distractions. I am also comfortable saying "no" to things that do not deserve my time.
3. Learning to Action Ratio:
This concept has taught me the importance of balancing my time between learning and doing. By dedicating time to learning about action plans and committing to them, and then applying what I have learned, I have made meaningful progress and achieved more in less time. For instance, I have implemented a focus time, removed social media notifications, avoided social media in the morning, taken time to write, and have adopted an 80/20 mindset with weekly planning.

Powerful Focus: A Pragmatic Guide to Enhancing Concentration and Productivity
In "Powerful Focus," Thibaut Meurisse gives readers a practical and concise guide to developing mental clarity and cultivating intense focus. With actionable insights and daily exercises, the author offers readers a roadmap to sharpen their concentration skills effectively. The book's strength lies in its seven-day plan, which covers various focus aspects, including habits, rituals, morning routines, learning to say no, and overcoming distractions.
Meurisse does an excellent job of synthesising ideas from other notable books on productivity and focus, enhancing the depth of the content. By incorporating these concepts, the author provides readers with a well-rounded approach to improving their focus. The book's brevity and straightforward style make it an easily digestible read, enabling readers to implement the strategies outlined in their daily lives quickly.
However, "Powerful Focus" falls short in originality and occasional repetition. While the author draws from various sources, there are instances where the content could have been more distinctive and less repetitive, offering readers a fresh perspective on the subject. Nonetheless, this minor drawback upholds the book's practical value.
In conclusion, I highly recommend "Powerful Focus" to anyone seeking to enhance their focus and achieve greater productivity. This book suits adults and adolescents looking to develop better concentration skills. However, younger children may find it less engaging. By following Meurisse's seven-day plan and implementing the actionable strategies, readers will undoubtedly witness a noticeable improvement in their ability to stay focused and succeed more in their personal and professional lives.

Fantastic
"Thibaut Meurisse's "Powerful Focus" is a must-read for anyone who wants to enhance their productivity and achieve their goals. The book offers practical and actionable strategies for developing laser-sharp focus and eliminating distractions that can derail our progress.
What I loved most about this book is that it goes beyond the typical advice of just "staying focused." Meurisse explains the science behind focus, including how our brain functions and the impact of external factors on our ability to concentrate. The author's relatable anecdotes and examples make the concepts easy to understand and implement in our own lives.
One of the most valuable takeaways from the book is the author's emphasis on developing a focus ritual, which involves setting aside dedicated time and space to work on our most important tasks. Meurisse provides a step-by-step guide for creating a focus ritual and offers practical tips for overcoming common roadblocks, such as procrastination and perfectionism.
Overall, "Powerful Focus" is a game-changer for anyone looking to improve their focus and productivity. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to achieve their goals with greater efficiency and clarity."

Similary to the second book on procrastination even this one emphasized the importance of clarity. If you don't know what you want you are never going to get there. Makes sense, and hence the 3 stars.

Actionable insights to increase focus
Short book including actionable insights to increase focus and productivity. Highly recommend that the action items presented by the author are implemented in daily life. For me, making a to-do list and prioritizing tasks on the list is an effective technique. Also, playing soothing music while working helps to increase concentration.

Great Primer
I have read several of Thibaut’s book and they are all excellent. He has a good technique of telling the reader just what they need to know. This text on Focus is really the cornerstone of getting things done drawing upon avoiding distractions and procrastination. Well worth a read together with his downloadable action guide. Thoroughly recommend.

Structure and Inspiration to Do Your Best
The author is inspirational. A clear structure for identifying goals and structuring them is available. I loved the advice about removing friction from the day to find ways to accomplish goals.

This book gives me a reason to believe in my ideal and let go of all the influence from the surroundings, people and powers. Humans always have a sense of belonging but deep down your individual beliefs are worth listening to.
