1/ FIND YOUR NATURAL RHYTHM
Deep concentration is not a technique to follow but rather a state to be attained. To reach it, you must first reconnect with your natural rhythms and leverage them:
Your cognitive rhythm is unique. Some people are more alert in the morning while others do their best work in the afternoon or evening.
