How to Be More Focused Without 1 kg of Cocaine — Like an Accountant

 If you’ve ever seen an accountant deep in year-end reports, you’ll notice they have the focus of a sniper on espresso. No, we’re not on coke (at least the reputable ones). We’re just ruthless about cutting the crap.


Focus isn’t something you find — it’s something you create by stripping out every distraction like you’re balancing the books of your brain.


And since accountants love a good ledger, here’s the T-account of Focus:

                   FOCUS LEDGER
-------------------------------------------------
Debit                              | Credit
-------------------------------------------------
No phone                       | Focused
No internet                    | 
No computer                  | 
No watch                       | 
No bullshit                     | 
No alcohol                      | 
No drugs                         | 
No processed food           | 
-------------------------------------------------
Total: Cancer                    | Total: Focused
-------------------------------------------------

It’s still bugging me I can’t get these lines straight! 

Why “Cancer” on the debit side total?

Because all those distractions are like a malignant growth in your attention span — they spread, they consume, and they leave you weaker. Remove them, and suddenly your brain is free to credit the one thing you’ve been chasing: focus.


The Accountant’s Rule of Focus:

🧠 If it’s not adding to your mental balance, it’s debiting your life.
