When I first joined the Focus Tiger program at NavVis, I was feeling overwhelmed. I had realized how constant multitasking was draining my energy; by the end of the day, I had nothing left. I knew I needed something to help me regain focus and energy. I work part-time, and I have two children. I chose to work part-time to spend time with my family, but still, I didn’t feel I was satisfied with how I managed my time.
Enter Focus Tiger
Right from the start, I was drawn to the program’s authenticity. The videos were so easy to follow—not too complicated, just practical science-based tools I could use right away. And wow, did they work! Surprisingly, a simple squeezing ball became my go-to for stress relief. I’d just sit at my desk, squeeze it, stop and think: what was I doing, what am I supposed to do? I caught myself more easily when I was doing my work in a reactive mode, and instantly felt more grounded and focused.
Then there was this sticker with the “Why?” question. I glued it on the back of my phone. Simple, but super effective. Whenever I automatically reached out for my phone, I asked myself why: Why would I grab it – again? The WHY-sticker reminds me to focus on what matters. I’ve stopped interrupting myself by instinctively grabbing the phone when I’m bored, stressed, tired, or procrastinating.
But the cold showers — that was a game-changer for me! I thought it would be horrible, but after trying it, I was addicted. The cold shock gave me such a boost of energy and clarity, like hitting the reset button.
Then I added the brain breaks throughout the day: regular breaks from my work where I’d recharge my brain by not looking at any screen. I was finishing my workday with energy to spare – which was completely new to me. I could feel the difference. Having breaks became a routine for me which made me save Focus Points for my free time too.
During Focus Tiger, I was always looking forward to my “10 minutes a day” focus sessions each morning. Repeating this habit of learning at the start of every workday has helped me absorb everything. And the visual format? Perfect. It kept things light and engaging, which made it easy to stick with the program.
I’m thrilled about how this program has transformed my energy and focus! I’m excited to continue with Focus Tiger here at NavVis!
