Turn Your Workspace Into A Productivity Fortress (4 Weeks)
Three AI-powered tools that eliminate distractions and restore deep work
Here’s a question that’s gonna make you uncomfortable...
How many hours of deep, focused design work did you actually get done yesterday?
Be honest.
I’m not talking about the time you spent “working.” I’m talking about that flow state where you’re completely dialed in. Where the work feels effortless and the ideas just keep coming.
If you’re like most designers I know (especially those dealing with ADHD), the answer is probably... not enough.
Maybe an hour? Two if you were lucky?
The rest of the time? You were battling distractions, notifications, and that constant mental ping-pong that keeps you from doing your best work.
Here’s the brutal truth...
Your environment is sabotaging your potential.
But here’s the good news (and there IS good news)...
We’re living in the age of AI. And smart people are building tools specifically designed to hack your focus and give you back control of your mind.
I’m about to show you three AI-powered weapons that will transform your workspace into a distraction-proof fortress.
Ready? Let’s go...
====================
WEAPON #1: KRISP
The Problem: Audio chaos is killing your concentration
====================
Every Zoom call. Every client meeting. Every “quick” team check-in.
Background noise turns your brain into mush. Kids screaming. Dogs barking. That neighbor who decided 2 PM was the perfect time to fire up his leaf blower.
Enter Krisp.
This AI-powered noise cancellation tool doesn’t just clean up YOUR audio. It cleans up everyone’s audio in real-time.
The result?
Crystal clear calls where you can actually think. Where you’re not constantly distracted by environmental chaos.
Pro tip: Use it even when you’re working solo. The psychological effect of “pure” audio creates an instant focus boost.
====================
WEAPON #2: BRAIN.FM
The Problem: Your playlist is sabotaging your focus
====================
Most people think any music will help them focus.
Wrong.
Music with lyrics? Your brain is processing language. Music with familiar melodies? You’re getting lost in memories. Random Spotify playlists? Total cognitive chaos.
Brain.fm uses AI to generate scientifically-engineered soundscapes designed for one thing: getting your brain into flow state.
No lyrics. No familiar hooks. Just pure, brain-optimized audio that helps you lock in for hours.
I was skeptical too. Then I tried it for one design session.
Four hours later, I looked up and realized I’d just completed more quality work than I usually do in two days.
====================
WEAPON #3: FREEDOM
The Problem: Your devices are digital crack dealers
====================
You know the drill.
“I’ll just check email real quick...”
“Let me see what’s happening on Twitter...”
“Maybe there’s something important on Slack...”
Two hours later, you’re watching YouTube videos about cats and wondering where your day went.
Freedom is a nuclear-powered website and app blocker that doesn’t negotiate with your impulses.
But here’s what makes it brilliant...
You can schedule your blocks in advance.
Set it up Sunday night. Block social media, news sites, and time-wasting apps from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday.
Your future self will thank you.
====================
THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
====================
Don’t try to implement all three at once. You’ll overwhelm yourself and quit within a week.
Here’s the smart approach:
Week 1: Install Krisp. Use it on every call. Notice how much clearer your thinking becomes.
Week 2: Add Brain.fm. Use it during your most challenging design work. Pay attention to how long you can stay focused.
Week 3: Set up Freedom. Start with just blocking social media during your peak creative hours.
Week 4: Combine all three. You now have a focus fortress that most designers can only dream of.
====================
THE BOTTOM LINE
====================
ADHD brains are creativity powerhouses. But they need the right environment to thrive.
These tools don’t “fix” anything. They amplify your natural abilities by removing the environmental friction that’s been holding you back.
Your ideas deserve better than a distracted mind.
Give them the focused attention they deserve.
Be Bold. Make Things Happen.

P.S. I’ve been experimenting with an AI tool that automatically summarizes long emails and articles. Cuts my reading time by 75% and helps me stay focused on what actually matters.
Still testing it out, but if it proves as game-changing as I think it will be... you’ll be the first to know.
The attention revolution is just getting started.
