Lemio - Beat Phone Distractions

The best 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 isn't music at all. Turns out, the optimal sounds for focus and productivity are not your favorite tunes. 🎧 Here's what science says: 1. Instrumental Music:  - If you prefer music, go instrumental.  - Choose tracks slightly faster than 140-150 BPM.  - Avoid lyrics - they compete with your thoughts. 2. Binaural Beats:  - Best for focus, relaxation, and even creativity.  - Different beat frequencies played to each ear.  - When this difference is 40 Hz,  it boosts dopamine and enhances motivation. But what about noise types? You might have heard of white noise, pink noise, and brown noise. They are sound-based tools that have been shown to improve people's ability 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀, but they do not necessarily improve focus per se. !!! Besides, prolonged exposure to these noises can harm your ears. Use them wisely and no longer than 1h per day. Have you tried any of these? How did it go? #Productivity #Focus ♻️ Find this valuable?

Why do successful people avoid their phones in the morning? 🤔 Because using your phone too early will kill your drive for the rest of the day. Here's why: 1. The Water Pool Analogy: Dopamine is our motivation molecule. It moves up and done around a baseline. Think of it like waves in a pool. Small, infrequent waves keep the water level stable. But intense or frequent waves spill water. It then takes time to refill your pool to get back to baseline dopamine. Above baseline you are motivated, below baseline you tend to be "lazy". Social media = a high frequency of waves -> you spill your motivation before you even started your day. 2. The Reward Prediction Error: Our brain predicts a reward when we check our phones. After an 8h night without updates, we are super curious what we missed. The expectation is high. But when nothing exciting happened (no likes, comments, news, emails), we face disappointment. This mismatch sends our dopamine to the basement -> goodbye motivation. 3. Prime Your Brain for Action: Starting the day with emails or social media makes us reactive. Successful people train their brains for action. They follow a morning routine without phones to stay proactive and focused. Start your day with intention, not distraction. 🌟 📫 If you want to learn how, read the full episode (E01) including actionable tips on my free newsletter (find the link on the image of this post and on my profile). ♻️ Find this valuable?
