How do you get more focus in a world full of distractions?

In recent years, the number of stimuli we are exposed to has increased fivefold. As a result, we are more and more interrupted in our tasks. The more interruptions, the lower our productivity, and the less time we have for complex tasks. As a result, we often feel (too) busy and experience more stress.

In the Focus ON/OFF training course, you will discover how the brain processes distractions, identify your concentration leaks, and learn techniques to optimize your focus.

Our experienced and enthusiastic trainers will guide you in developing a personalized action plan with new habits for sustained focus and less stress.

After completing this training session, you will:

The Programme

In the first block, we concentrate on focus and flow. What is focus, and how do you get into the flow? You will learn how distraction works in the brain, get introduced to the four concentration leaks, and explore the Focus Model.

In the second block, we explore how you can increase your resilience to reduce the likelihood of getting distracted.

In the third block, we address the impact of internal and external stimuli, such as mobile phones, email, apps, and colleagues. You'll discover how to work with focus in an open office or at home and navigate the balance between productivity and availability.

Great practical tips and tricks, delivered in a well-structured way by a trainer who combines theory and practice with humor. Comes with a great little book in a handy box. 10/10

How to Integrate Focus into Your Work Rhythm?

We have more freedom than ever to structure our workweek, with increasing flexibility and remote work options. This saves travel time and makes balancing work and personal life easier. However, it also has a downside: it makes us more restless, less productive, and more frequently stressed. In learning new habits we try to get a grip, but it’s not enough. The real solution lies in a more integrated approach—a new routine.

In this new half-day training, we guide you through the brain’s natural flow and key themes that influence our work rhythm, backed by scientific insights and real-world examples. Using templates and practical examples, you will design a new routine during the training—which you can start using right away.

Focus Routine is the perfect follow-up to the Focus ON/OFF training course but can certainly also be taken independently.

After completing this training, you will:

The Programme

In the first block, we introduce the topic of focus routine and briefly cover behavioral change. Using the focus curve, you’ll gain insight into the brain’s natural flow. We dive deeper into the question: How do you integrate focus into your work rhythm?

In the second block, we explore the science behind the perfect hour of focus. Using recent research and real-life examples, we design the ideal one-hour focus routine.

In the third block, we examine the science behind a daily focus routine. Based on the theory of the four focus phases Start-Up, Focus ON, Finish-Up, and Focus OFF, you will design the ideal full-day focus routine.

Insightful and eye-opening! Increased awareness of how I structure my work, with a great balance between listening and hands-on exercises.
