TikTok is full of “productivity hacks”—a new ritual every week, a viral routine that promises success overnight. But most of these trends don’t boost your output. They mask your tasks, fuel burnout, and leave you feeling even further behind.
This book is your antidote to the noise. It cuts through the myths and delivers a clear, practical path to real focus. Inside, you’ll discover:
Why TikTok trends fail and how they secretly sabotage your productivity
The science of real focus—and how to build it without gimmicks
Simple rituals that last, not hacks that fade with the algorithm
How to spot task masking, the hidden killer of deep work
Burnout-proof systems that keep you consistent without draining your energy
If you’re tired of chasing “life-changing” tips that don’t deliver, this book hands you a framework for sustainable productivity—one that works in real life, not just in a 60-second video.
Stop scrolling. Start focusing. Your best work begins here.
