"I can't focus." We've all said these words before.
But the reality is not that we can't focus — after all, the human brain is always paying attention and, consciously or not, focusing on something — but rather that we can't control our focus.
Let's look into the psychology of attention and focus to better understand how we can control our focus — and our productivity.
In 1872, Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, wrote a raw, gushing fan letter to his poetry idol, Walt Whitman.
But it wasn’t until four years later that Stoker would finally have the guts to mail it, along with an introduction letter — a letter within a letter — beginning with: “If you are the man I take you to be you will like to get this letter.”
In four separate instances in his missive, Stoker instructs Whitman to place both letters in the fire “without reading any further,” if “this” is a mistake.

He’s a certified volcano naturalist. He’s been a newspaper reporter and a photojournalist and has to use waterproof notebooks to journal on extreme trips.

And he writes about it all on a Freewrite.
