Applied Flow
Attention is a limited resource, and this part of the Flow library covers what happens when it breaks down or locks in too hard.
Holdings range from dopamine fasting and the neuroscience of procrastination to selective attention, hyperfocus, and a structured protocol for eliminating distraction. Each claim is traced to peer-reviewed research, with popular fixes graded against what the evidence supports.
