You ever get so deep into your grind that you lose track of time? Like, you're just in itโno distractions, no second-guessing, just pure focus.
The rabbit hole goes even deeper than that.. and i've been there before.
There's ๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ก, a step FURTHER. A level in which basic human health habits like brushing your teeth become an afterthought.

When you know exactly what you're chasing, you eliminate the friction of having to figure out what to work on.
ACTIONABLE STEP: Every night, before bed, write it down. Visualize it. 3 tasks that you need to get done for the next day. You need to wake up and without thinking know exactly what the missions for the day are. Your brain needs to feel like the stakes are high, like every second counts. That clarity fuels obsession.
2. ๐ฟ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐ฃ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐
Remove everything that doesnโt serve your mission. Put your phone in another room, clear your desk of clutter, delete social media (even if it's temporarily during work), throw out the junk food in your house and get rid of anything that might tempt you to slack. Because why would you risk to get distracted by some bullshit like a notification or a messy desk.
3. ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ช๐ข
When youโre locked in, stay locked in. Donโt stop to scroll TikTok or check your texts. A common focus method is the pomodor technique, but I think that technique is BULLSHIT (its 25m + 5m work blocks). You don't give yourself time to build up that focus momentum. The more momentum you build, the easier it is to keep going.
For day-scaled momentum, stack up small wins (knocking out tasks) early in the day, and watch how that snowball grows.

This is the ultimate level. When youโre so into your grind that you forget to eat, sleep, or brush your teeth, youโve officially tapped into that raw, relentless focus. This doesnโt mean neglecting health foreverโitโs about putting your mission first in the moment.
5. ๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ชโ๐ง๐ ๐ฟ๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐จ
Whenever you start to slip, think about the version of you whoโs already succeeded. What would they do? Would they quit early or keep going? Hold onto that image and let it drive you through those long hours.
This level of commitment isnโt for everyone. Most people donโt have the discipline to push themselves to this extreme. But if you want to stand out, if you want to win so hard that people donโt even know what hit them, this is the kind of grind you need. ๐
Now go out there, lose track of time, and maybe remember to brush your teeth when youโre done dominating. ๐
