Does anyone have a higher record? - Strategy I used

I did 22 (25min) pomodoros, which is the equivalent of 9h+ of PURE FOCUS. In my 5 years of using the app, this is my personal record.

This is incredible for me because my previous record were 16 trees. That helped me push my ceiling from 6 trees max a day to understand I could consistely do 9.

22 trees is definitely not consistent. I now feel a bit sick and my motivation juice is depleted for the next day. It's not the way to go on a day-to-day basis, but I'm proud of it and I'm glad the app helped me track it. It helps me to undersatand my body better this 5 years.

Context: This was for a competition/hackathon. It consisted of making an app and writing about it. This day I dedicated to writing most of the article, editing it, and posting it.

SHAMELESS PLUG: Here is the article I wrote. Please give me a like pls pls. It will give me more visibility for my idea. I believe I don't need more than 50 likes total. I can also discuss the idea.

In exchange, I'll share with you the productivity strategy that allowed me to break my personal record.

I know there is no way of proving I didn't "cheat," but I'm not expecting any prize for the number of trees I planted. Hope that works to believe me hahaa

What I did right:

• Strategic breaks: I was wired enough to not take any breaks, but I still took 5min breaks to release tension, fix my posture, get sunlight, etc. I believe this stretched my focus span a bit.
• Circadian Energy: I wake up at sunrise. This is maybe the thing that gaves that extra push. I like to think about it this way: My body makes use of Sunlight energy so i need to use it from dusk til dawn. (This is proven biologically)
• No distractions: This one is obvious, but I didn't scroll or do anything else. I just stared at the wall or window when my focus drifted.
• Ready body: I had a reasonably good amount of sleep that day (7h+). I had no junk food this week.
• Fasting: I was already fasting this month. But this day I just ate one big meal and that is it. For focus, I beleive fasting helps more than a normal day of eating. But you need to eat nutrient rich foods in your meals.
• Coffee :)

What probably helped me hit my personal record:

• Pure execution: There was little learning this day. I didn't need to understand anything. Just write an article.
• Challenge/Skill balance: The task at hand was refining the article, which didn't require exceptional skills.
• Clear goal and deadline: I had to publish an article by a deadline, and that brought all the motivation juices.
