Monk Mode is a period of intense focus where you completely focus on your goals without doing any such activity which doesn’t move the needle.

And in this article, I’ll be sharing a step-by-step guide to getting on Monk Mode and getting the best out of it.

Mindset

First, Let’s get the Mindset right Monk Mode isn’t anything magical that will transform your life It is a system that allows you to do focused work for a long period of time.

Now that we have got the Mindset thing out of the way Let’s get started with the actionable advice.

STEP 1 — Decide a Timeframe

Monk Mode is an intense focus on your work and if you try to do it for a whole year You’ll burn yourself out. That’s why takes a short time span to do it intensely.

Iman Gadhzi who’s the creator of this framework recommends doing this for 3 weeks — 3 months. Not more than that And YES. You can go on multiple monk modes in a Year.

STEP 2 — Non-Negotiables

Non-Negotiables are those activities that you’ll do every day no matter what You might miss a day or two. But aim to do these every day. No matter what.

STEP 3 — Negotiables

Negotiables are activities that you can do in a lenient way. These are the activities that even if you don’t do them every day won’t matter much.

STEP 4 — Output Challenge
