Well, the term monk mode is used to describe a state of intense focus and a pro productivity where you disconnect from the world and immerse yourself in your work.

This practice is insti inspired by the lifestyle of monks who dedicate their lives to spiritual growth and self-improvement. So what, why would you wanna do. Right. What?

The benefits of monk mode, well, monk mode has several benefits, including improved focus and concentration, enhanced creativity and problem solving a. Increased productivity and efficiency. Reduced stress and anxiety, which is always nice.

[00:02:36] Right? And greater self-awareness and mindfulness. So how do you try this, right? How do we apply this to our lives? Because obviously most of us cannot just step away from the lives we live for an extended period of time. That's one of the very interesting things. Even high performance CEOs, executives, people you recognize the name of, like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, and those guys will go into what they call monk mode, and it's for a limited amount of.

[00:03:08] And in this case, you can apply it at different levels. It doesn't have to be a month, it doesn't have to be three months. It can be a week. It can be two or three days, right? You can set aside a weekend to go in monk mo mode. It's really not a complicated concept. It is just a very dedicated and focused time.

[00:03:30] So if you're interested in trying Monk mode to push yourself maybe past a roadblock you're hitting or. to just take yourself up a level, right? Maybe you've just got that unfinished, uh, task that you're trying to complete. Maybe you've got that goal, you're just trying to wrap your hands around. Just gotta finish up that last little bit of studying before you can take that final exam on something you've been working on for a while.

[00:03:54] It's very simple. Here's five simple steps to try. Monk mode for. Number one, if you have is you have to define your goals very clearly. Identify what you wanna achieve during your MO mode session. You can't be scatterbrained, you can't be all over the place. This is probably actually one of the harder aspects of it, is just to reduce all the chaos and find exactly what you're trying to solve in a set defined period of time.

[00:04:23] That's the next step is to set the. Choose the specific time and duration for your Mon Mo session. Do you have a weekend you can put into it? Do you have just a solid day that you can put into it? Do you have two weeks that you can dive into it after you've clearly defined those goals? This is what we're going to solve.

[00:04:43] We next set. This is the time period in which we're going to. Now, number three is critical. You have to limit Nate distractions for monk mode. That's why it's called monk mode. Turn off your fail phone, close your email. Avoid any unnecessary ru interruptions. Sequester yourself if you need to, but you have to isolate yourself with just your work and what it's required to get through.

[00:05:14] For the time period. Otherwise, you're gonna get sidetracked, just like always. Number four continues on that idea and is to prepare your environment, create a conductive environment for your work. Make sure it's a comfortable environment for you to work in. You don't want things getting your way, like not having a place to sit and think or whatever, right?

[00:05:39] You don't want a bunch of stuff bombarding into your environment because then is not monk. So prepare your environment to optimize your ability to work effectively along with eliminating those distractions. The last thing is you need to take breaks, take short breaks during your session to refresh your mind and avoid burnout.

[00:06:00] Now, if you're doing this for two days, that means that. You're working from this time period to this time period, and in that time period you're going to work 25 minutes on at five minutes off and 25 minutes on and five minutes off, or you're gonna work two hours and then you're gonna take a five minute break and you're gonna get back into it.

[00:06:16] But set a very defined schedule to go with your defined goals, eliminate distractions, make sure the environment is cohesive for you to do what you need to do. That's basically monk. People make it really complicated. It's not. It's very simple. It is just a really interesting term for a very powerful, focused productivity session.

[00:06:41] Monk mode is a powerful practice that can help you achieve your goals, enhance your productivity, and improve your wellbeing.
