Every day we navigate an office full of competing interests, clashing personalities, limited time and resources, and fragile egos. Sure, we share the same overarching goals as our colleagues, but we don't always agree on how to achieve them. We work differently. We rub each other the wrong way. We jockey for position.

Fundamentals for Focusing
The book is organized in a simple, logical structure. It is divided into three parts: understanding focus, creating an environment for focus, and employing tactics to focus. It is important to experiment and select the techniques that work for you. The common causes for a lack of focus are lack of interest, negative emotions, poor organization, low energy levels, and lack of control. The top 10 obstacles to staying focused are mental fatigue, restlessness (boredom or feeling of anxiety), stress, interruptions, lack of mental clarity, unresolved problems, poor planning, physical clutter, social media (unable to resist checking apps), and your smartphone (when it rings or vibrates).
Some elements to consider when creating an environment that will help you to fight distractions and concentrate:
1. Have sufficient lighting and take advantage of natural light
2. Minimize background noise that breaks your concentration (e.g., wearing headphones to listen to classical music or white noise to drown out conversations around you)
3. Be comfortable (e.g., fit of your clothes, height of chair and desk, and position of the monitor)
4. Ambient temperature (environment that is too warm or too cold temperature could affect productivity)
5. Air quality (get fresh air)
6. Scents that may improve mood - peppermint, cinnamon, pine, rosemary, basil, citrus, lavender, and cypress
7. Organize your workspace to allow you to focus on your work
8. Have a clock visible to track the time you allotted for tasks
There are 23 tactics that can help improve your focus, such as set a timer, have five daily tasks, exercise, capture ideas quickly, identify triggers that lead to distractions, commit to single tasks, batch process similar tasks, arrange calendar into time chunks, disconnect, meditate, and create routines.

Good overall tips. Great narration. Really enjoyed when the author stated what their preferred action was. I did learn new tips to old knowledge, like listening to classical music pieces in loops so as to not draw attention to the music. Probably has a Pavlovian response in your brain.

Superficial
This is just a collection of superficial, common sense strategies to avoid other things from distracting you. Other than barely mentioning meditation (Recommending mindfullness meditation), he doesn't really give any tips on how to develop focus. I also find the tips to be somewhat repetitive/monotone. Huge dissapointment, even though it is sold as a quick guide, it doesn't really help at all. It's not difficult to figure out the things in this book by yourself. What I personally need is the ability to focus at all - not just to remove distractions.

Reads like an SEO crafted blog. But definitely worth the bullet points.
It would have been best if this audio book came with a cheatsheet or one page outline. The examples are simple but the material is good. Especially useful was the focus quiz. You can gather from the quiz where you lack focus with any score less than 5. It’s super great for introspection. The reason for the 4 is the stupid introduction. Skip the first 4 or 5 chapters, if you’ve already bought the book who cares about this guys background or personal challenges. Obviously he had an issue with focus and overcame it. No need to consume 10-20% of the book establishing this fact. Again it reads like a blog. So skipping chapters helps to get to the meat of the learning. Overall. It’s pretty good.
