Focus & Self-Management Skills
Life skills to manage distraction and impulsivity - ADHD - get the 30/30 Reset!
Started writing an email, checked Instagram, forgot about email, remembered email, checked news, what email?
Or maybe you're the type who opens 47 browser tabs "for research" and then wonders why your computer sounds like a jet engine while you've accomplished exactly nothing.
We get it. Your brain is basically a golden retriever in a tennis ball factory.
Here's What's Actually Happening
Your brain isn't broken. It's just working on software designed for hunting gazelles, not managing Slack notifications.
Research from the American Psychological Association shows that even brief task switching can reduce productivity by up to 40%. Meanwhile, a Harvard study confirms multitasking decreases focus and increases mistakes.
The worst part?
You KNOW what you need to do. But somewhere between knowing and doing, your brain decides to research the history of staplers instead.
What Emergent Skills Actually Does
In 30 minutes, we teach you techniques that work with your distracted brain, not against it.
No productivity porn. Just real strategies.
Designed for when your attention span is shorter than a TikTok video.
The 90-Second Reset
Hijacks your impulse to check your phone before it takes over
Attention Anchoring
Actually keeps you in one tab (yes, really)
Impulse Interruption
Stops you from starting new projects when you have 12 unfinished ones
Our AI coaches get that you're not trying to become a productivity robot. Some days you'll hyperfocus for 6 hours straight. Other days you'll reorganize your desk drawer instead of working. We work with both versions of you.
The Reality Check
This won't turn you into one of those people who:
- Claims they "don't need coffee"
- "Love morning routines"
- Have color-coded calendars for their color-coded calendars
You might still check Instagram mid-task. But you'll catch yourself faster, redirect easier, and actually finish things.
Success looks different for everyone:
- Finishing one deep work session without checking email
- Remembering what you were doing after an interruption
- Having fewer than 20 tabs open (baby steps)
The AI practice sessions are key here. You can literally practice staying focused in real-time, with controlled distractions. Like training wheels for your attention span, except less embarrassing.
What You'll Actually Learn
Beyond the emergency "oh shit I've been scrolling for an hour" techniques, we dig into why your brain works this way.
Your Personal Distraction Map
First, we figure out what specifically derails you. Maybe it's not all distractions - maybe it's just Slack messages from Brad. Or maybe you're fine until 2 PM when your brain decides it's done for the day.
We map your specific kryptonite so you're not fighting shadows.
The Pattern Recognition Course
Notice how your distraction follows a pattern? Task gets hard → brain seeks dopamine → hello Reddit → where did two hours go?
Once you see your pattern, you can interrupt it. The AI helps you track this without feeling like you're being monitored by your disappointed future self.
Impulse Granularity
Sometimes you check Twitter because you're bored. Sometimes because the task feels impossible. Sometimes because you're avoiding an emotion.
When you know which one, you can address the actual problem instead of just blocking websites and hoping for the best.
24/7 AI Focus Partner
Need to practice staying on task at 11 PM? The AI's there. Want to rehearse redirecting after interruptions? Load it up.
It's like having a study buddy who never suggests "just one more YouTube video."
Yesterday I did a focus session where the AI gradually introduced distractions while I worked. Started with subtle ones (notification sounds) and worked up to full chaos mode. Turns out I can focus through construction noise but completely lose it when I hear email pings. Good to know.
Start With Whatever's Killing Your Productivity Right Now
If you're reading this in your 15th tab while avoiding a project that was due yesterday, you need this.
If you just realized you've been "researching" for 3 hours without writing a single word, you definitely need this.
Your deadlines don't care about your attention span. But we can help you work with what you've got instead of against it.
Start Your 30-Minute Reset Free
(yes, it's actually free. we know you've been burned by "free" trials before). If 30 minutes doesn’t shake you free, you’ll still walk away with one tool to use now.
P.S. - If you made it this far without checking another tab, you're already doing better than most of us. If you didn't, welcome back. We see you. Do something. Focus - grasshopper.
P.S.S As an excellent ADHDer, I learned to pause and a just enough impulse control to stop saying fuck you.
