About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of intentional focus and the practice of treating rest as a skill to avoid burnout.

Intentional focus takes discipline, but focus isn't the default state. The real practice is being intentional across every mode: work, recreation, and deep rest. Most developers and founders grind through mental exhaustion without treating rest as a skill. That gap between knowing you need rest and actually taking it is where burnout takes root.Avoid the procrastination trap. Avoid the burnout cycle. When work, play, and rest become distinct intentional states, not a single blur — you stop mistaking exhaustion for progress.00:00 Defocus Director's Cut YouTube00:28 Part 1: Defocus04:52 End-of-Day Defocus07:26 The Practise---Stoic leadership for developers & founders.
