Hey there,
In case you missed it, we just dropped the latest episode of Solved: Why Can't You Focus Anymore?
In this episode, Drew and I break down what's actually going on when you "lose focus."
We get into why the so-called attention crisis is probably overstated, how your brain is constantly negotiating between staying on task and switching to something else, and why boredom and distraction aren't moral failures—they're signals. We also talk about what flow states actually are, why they're rarer than people think, and how your environment is quietly shaping your attention far more than your willpower ever could.
If you've ever felt scattered, overstimulated, or frustrated with your inability to stay on one thing, this episode will change how you see it. Because "just concentrate" is actually terrible advice. And once you understand why, focus stops feeling like something you have to force.
You can listen here:
And if you haven’t, check out our Focus Toolkit, where we share twelve of the most effective tools for taking back your attention in a world that’s engineered to fragment it.
We’re also focused on focus—and what’s really worth your attention to begin with—inside the Solved Membership this month. You can join the 5-day focus experiment to battle-test these twelve tools (plus six more) or identify what really matters and deserves your attention with our 24-day Values, Solved course. We just kicked off a live cohort earlier this week.
Members also get ad-free episodes, a library of extra tools and resources, and a real community of people to support you along the way.

Hope you enjoy the episode and if you do, pass it on to someone who could use it too.
