Hey {{first_name}},
If focusing feels harder than it used to, you’re not imagining it. Many of us are working longer hours, switching between tools and tabs all day, and still ending our weeks feeling behind. The problem isn’t effort — it’s attention. In a world built for constant interruption, focus has quietly become one of the most valuable (and scarce) skills in tech.
Research consistently shows that deep, focused work — often referred to as flow — is where our best thinking happens. It’s when we solve complex problems faster, feel more creative, and experience greater satisfaction in our work. But flow isn’t something you stumble into between meetings. It’s something you design for, protect, and practice.
For women in tech especially, focus can be even harder to access. We’re often juggling competing priorities, responding to everyone else’s needs, and context-switching at a pace that makes meaningful progress feel elusive. Learning how to work differently — not just harder — is essential for sustainability, confidence, and long-term growth.
That’s why we’re excited to partner with Caveday for an upcoming live session on The Art & Science of Focus. This isn’t just a talk — it’s a hands-on experience designed to help you understand what supports (and disrupts) your focus, and then put that knowledge into action with a guided 20-minute work sprint. Led by Molly Sonsteng, co-founder of Caveday, this session blends neuroscience, productivity research, and human-centered design.
Bring a project you’ve been putting off and leave with strategies you can use immediately. This session is especially supportive for anyone who struggles with focus, including those with ADHD. Focus is a skill! Let’s build it together.
