The 5-Minute Focus Reset: Reclaim Your Attention
When distraction hits, activate the '5-Minute Focus Reset.' Close your eyes, take three deep, slow breaths, counting 4 in, 7 hold, 8 out. Then, open your eyes and identify one single, immediate next action for your current task. Commit to only that step for the next 5 minutes.

This micro-reset technique bypasses overwhelm by creating a clear mental break and a tangible, small starting point. The breathwork calms the nervous system, while identifying just one next action prevents paralysis and builds immediate momentum, making large tasks feel manageable and boosting sustained concentration.
