If you’re feeling discouraged about your weight loss progress or you’re just getting started: this is for you.

I can’t sit still for longer than thirty seconds. I need to keep my hands busy during meetings, or I’ll end up on my phone. If I listen to an audiobook, I need to actively tell myself to listen every five minutes.

I am also the most efficient worker I know.
Here’s how I stay focused on work.
