The Focus Sprint Method

Can’t focus for 6 hours? Neither can most people.

Try this:

  • 25-minute trading sprints: Full focus, no interruptions
  • 5-minute breaks: Stand, stretch, look away from screens
  • After 4 sprints: 15-minute longer break

    • This is the Pomodoro Technique adapted for trading. It works because it respects your brain’s attention limits.

    Building the Habit

    Start small:

  • Day 1-3: No phone in trading room
  • Day 4-7: Add browser blockers during trading hours
  • Week 2: Dedicated workspace setup
  • Week 3: Notification-free full session

    • Each layer builds on the last. By week 3, you’re trading like a professional.
