Deep Focus

Philippy Audra is a productivity coach, writer, and recovering chronic multitasker. For more than a decade she worked in fast-paced communications and marketing roles, where her attention was measured in seconds and her inbox ruled her clock. After a burnout that she describes as the best thing that ever happened to her career, she spent several years studying attention science, behavioral psychology, and the design of work environments — and, more importantly, rebuilding her own relationship with focus from the ground up. She now helps professionals, teams, and organizations reclaim their attention through workshops, coaching, and a newsletter read by subscribers in dozens of countries. Her writing on focus, deep work, and the art of paying attention has appeared in business and lifestyle publications. *Deep Focus* is her first book. She lives in Lisbon with her partner and a very demanding cat, and she writes every morning in protected ninety-minute blocks — with her phone in another room.
