Have you ever noticed that your focus starts to fade around the 45-minute mark? You’re not alone. Research shows that most people’s attention naturally peaks for about 30–50 minutes before the mind starts craving a pause. Instead of fighting it, what if you worked with your brain’s rhythm?
That’s the idea behind the 45-minute block — a simple yet powerful timeboxing practice I teach in my coaching sessions and in my new book Timebox: Time Management Strategies to Balance Productivity and Well-Being. It’s short enough to sustain focus and long enough to make meaningful progress.
🎧 Listen to the full episode:
In this episode, I share how to use short bursts of focused work to create balance, reduce burnout, and make space for what truly matters, both at work and in life.
💡 I also mention Sunsama, the tool I personally use to automatically create 45-minute timeboxing blocks and visualize how my tasks fill up the day. It’s a game-changer for realistic planning.
👉 Here’s the link to try Sunsama and start building your 45-minute focus rhythm. Try it for free with this link!
(Coming next week: In-person coaching sessions are now available in Houston, TX — stay tuned!).
