How to work & focus for 12 hours a day like a millionaire CEO

To work and focus for 12 hours a day like a millionaire CEO, one must first identify with the persona by telling everyone about the commitment and making a firm internal decision. A large goal is essential, demanding significant work and preventing idleness, and a small, supportive social circle minimizes distractions and obligations. Saying "no" to most social invitations protects valuable time, while daily outdoor excursions prevent cabin fever. Prioritizing early, sufficient sleep and avoiding morning routines conserves energy for focused work. Intermittent fasting and a carb-restricted diet until evening further optimize focus by reducing digestive strain and blood sugar spikes. The key is to avoid external stimuli until the workday ends, maintaining a consistent dopamine level and protecting the sacred work hours.
