Why Your Focus Isn’t Back Yet (And How to Retrain It)

Описание: EPISODE 4 — Rebuilding Focus (The Right Way)
The Cognitive Athlete Podcast | Season 2 | Week 4

If you feel calmer… but still distracted — this episode is for you.

After sustained pressure, your brain doesn’t instantly snap back into deep focus. It adapts. It scans. It reacts. And that’s normal.

In Week 4 of the 10-Week Cognitive Athlete training cycle, we rebuild focus properly.

Not by pushing harder.
Not by working longer.
Not by criticising yourself.

But by training depth in short, deliberate windows.

In this episode you’ll learn:
✔ Why focus degrades under sustained cognitive load
✔ Why structure must come before concentration
✔ Why depth comes before duration
✔ A simple 3-step daily focus protocol

This week isn’t about output.
It’s about re-establishing clean attention.

If you’ve been following the cycle:
Week 1 — Stabilised pace
Week 2 — Protected energy
Week 3 — Built structure

Focus isn’t something you find.
It’s something you train.
