The brain operates in attractor states, facilitating deep focus by activating specific neural circuits while others shut down.

“It's this notion of attractor states that basically that the brain uh much to most people's dismay doesn't work such that you go oh I'm going to from 9 to 11 or I'll do some hard coding or I'm going to and you sit down and you start. No, you you you warm up. You kind of ratchet into it and then um but over time it's it's almost like a ball bearing on a flat surface and then and then the surface starts becoming more and more concave and eventually it's a deep trench and then that's usually when the buzzer goes off.”
