Take Control of Focus by Glenn Fleishman
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.5 mb
Overview: Cut through the buzzes, rings, banners, and general attention-grabbing chaos to win the war for your attention. This book teaches you how to silence notifications, calls, and alerts across all your Apple devices using the Focus feature by customizing Focus modes and settings. Do Not Disturb will seem serene like never before.
Apple’s Focus feature promises to silence distractions so you can work, drive, sleep, play games, or just stare at the wall in peace. But Focus is also one of Apple’s most confusingly layered features, with options scattered across devices, apps, and system settings that interact in ways that aren’t always obvious. This book brings Focus into…focus.
Author Glenn Fleishman walks you through every aspect of Focus, from the basics of activating and deactivating Focus modes to the deep customization options that let you control exactly which people, apps, and alerts can break through your self-imposed isolation—and which can’t. You’ll learn how preset modes like Do Not Disturb, Sleep, and Driving work—and how to customize them or even create custom modes tailored to your routine.
Beyond the Focus feature, you’ll get to understand how Apple manages audible alerts with Silent mode, where to set bypasses so emergency contacts and people important to you can always reach you by calling, and what exactly sharing your Focus state with others means. The book opens with practical case studies to help you understand how Focus can suit you—and how it might be overkill.
Whether you want to sleep more soundly, work without interruption, read a few pages of a goshdarned book without a bleep from your devices, or just stop your phone from buzzing during dinner, this book gives you the understanding and step-by-step instructions to shape and filter Focus and related attention-minimizing features to your needs.
The book includes insight from a credentialed ADHD/executive function coach on best practices for Focus, too.
