1. Worries Currently Faced by Working Professionals

In particular, aren't you all dealing with the following concerns?

Always being chased by time due to multitasking
Being distracted by smartphones and social media, unable to focus
Knowing what needs to be done in your head but unable to take action
Wanting to focus on studies or a side job but unable to continue due to fatigue
Losing confidence because you aren't seeing results

Especially for the so-called 'younger generation' of today, living in an era where information overload is the norm,
we live our lives constantly with our smartphones.

In that environment, don't you also have a strong sense that your time is being stolen by your smartphone? And it's not just time that's being stolen.
It's something we constantly crave, yet find difficult to obtain.

That is'focus'.

This book introduces key points and methods for improving focus, which is particularly necessary for us young working professionals.

2. What this book solves

Based on the premise that 'improving the quality of focus' is directly linked to productivity, work results, and a fulfilling life, this book proposes practical methods.

How to find specific triggers to enter the 'zone'
Routines to maximize focus in the morning
How to escape from 'dopamine addiction' that hinders focus
Designing focus cycles in 90-minute blocks
How to regulate 'exercise,' 'diet,' and 'sleep' to support long-term focus

Through these approaches, it becomes possible to break away from the 'self that cannot focus' and make the 'self that can enter the zone' a habit.

3. Why I want working professionals to read this

It is no exaggeration to say that 'focus' is the most lacking skill for modern business people.
The reason why you don't see results even when relying on time management techniques or task management apps is that the quality of your focus is low to begin with.

This book explains focus from both 'scientific evidence' and 'practical advice' by an author who has faced many patients as a psychiatrist, making it content that even busy working professionals can immediately engage with.

Especially for young professionals in their 20s and 30s,it is worth reading at least once as a 'fundamental skill' that will influence your future career and self-growth.

4. What I felt from my own experience

I myself have been particularly troubled recently by the fact that 'I know what I should be doing, but I can't focus.'
While I have been able to work from home since May, which has created an environment where I can focus on my work, the reality is that I haven't been able to fully commit to it.
In my private life, I am taking on challenges at GLOBIS and looking for new things to turn into habits, but recently I haven't been able to focus on them at all, and it is no exaggeration to say that I have fallen into a state of self-loathing.

That was when I came across this book.
What left a particularly strong impression on me was the perspective that concentration begins with managing your emotions and physical condition.

For example,

Spending 30 minutes in the morning on 'exercise' instead of your smartphone
Establishing a night routine to improve the quality of your sleep
Taking a deep breath as soon as you notice you are in a bad mood

These small, cumulative actions have a significant impact on your ability to focus. I had a particular breakthrough regarding my physical condition.

I have always been good at waking up early, but partly because of that, my sleep time was quite short, at 5 or 6 hours every day.
Even so, I was able to get through my daily work somehow, but the book stated that the minimum amount of sleep needed is 7 hours.

I decided to start by addressing this point, and for one month, I went to bed 30 minutes earlier and woke up 30 minutes later.

As a result, although it has only been a month, I feel that my work productivity has increased.
In particular, I felt this most when switching between tasks.

Previously, my concentration would break, and it would take time to get back into the swing of things, but now I can switch tasks smoothly.

From there, I gradually began to grasp the 'feeling of being focused,' and now, my sense of fulfillment in my daily life has definitely increased.

5. What you will gain after reading this book

By reading this book and putting even one thing into practice, you should be able to achieve the following results:

Generate your own energy from the morning
Process tasks quickly and improve work performance
Focus on what you want to do without being swayed by temptations
Drastically reduce the days you feel down, thinking, 'I couldn't do it again today...'
Make the feeling of entering the 'zone' a daily occurrence and feel a sense of accomplishment in life

You could say that 'concentration' is a fundamental power that elevates your life.
And this is not something innate; anyone can acquire it through systems and habits.

Why not take this opportunity to acquire the weapon of 'concentration' for yourself?
