And then at the end of the week, they wonder, "Why didn't I get anything done this week?"

I used to think that time management was the key to productivity.

But the more I've looked at the lives of titans who inspire and motivate me, I realized there's only a finite amount of time that everyone has in the day.

So how are some people getting more done in less time than others?

Is it skill?

I am an artist.

I am the best cat groomer in the whole world.

Is it speed?

I've never done speed. Is that how you do it?

No, baby. I now believe that your ability to get things done is intrinsically tied to how well you can concentrate.

So more than time management, attention management is key.

If you find yourself constantly not meeting your goals, you may be an attention whore.

Spreading out your time here and there, Willy fucking nilly.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did you think this was a slut shaming video?

No, honey, this is click bait for a cause.

Now I do want to say here, it's equally important in attention management to make time to not have to monitor your attention.

Rest and relaxation are equally as important as productivity.

In fact, I would say rest and relaxation are necessary to have the ability to concentrate your attention.

I don't buy into hustle culture that advocates sacrificing your mental health, sleep, physical health, your social life or your overall well being.

We're not work horses.

And also I don't like that we make horses work.

They don't get paid.

I don't understand.

But anyway, how can you concentrate your attention?

One, meditation obvious.

It requires the most basic, simple but impossibly difficult way to execute your focus.

You just sit there and breathe for 15 minutes and keep your attention on your breath.

Try not to get distracted.

Wow, you'll find out real quick how easy it is to get distracted.

Two, if you're not sure about your attention skills, start logging your time spent in a calendar.

Seriously, just like how you track every single expense when you're trying to learn more about your financial life.

Track your time spent if you want awareness of your time life.

At the end of each week, you can see realistically where most of your attention goes and how good or bad you are at managing it.

And finally, three, practice small spurts.

We practice distraction every single day.

We mindlessly squirrel through our phone.

We multitask.

We Internet surf when we have important deadlines.

We have become masters of distraction.

So if you wanna be a master of attention, you just have to practice it.

Take 10 minutes a day to focus on a specific task.

Whether that's meditation, writing, reading, what have you?

Learn how to focus your attention in small doses and slowly amp up the time you dedicate to concentration as you get better.

You're welcome.

I'm Anna Akana.

Stay awesome, Gotham.
