Nope, I’m not talking about distraction free writing in WordPress. I’m talking about on my laptop with limited internet access and free from all distractions. Truly focused writing is achievable with a few simple steps.

Step 1. Create a new profile on your mac and don’t setup any extra software. Slack is a great example of amazing software that I absolutely don’t need distracting me while I’m writing.

Step 2. Love your writing tool. Ulysses is great distraction free writing software that I’ve been using for about a month now.

Step 3. Listen to great music! Here’s a list of some of my favorite music to listen to while writing.
