Achieving laser focus involves a gradual transition into deeper states of focus.

“The way that neurochemicals work is we don't just get to flip switches in our brain because we decide to, that's a fantasy. That's sort of the "Limitless" movie or movies and ideas that suddenly you're going to flip a switch on your arm and all of a sudden you're going to be in a laser focus, that is just not the way that your nervous system works. There's a gradual dropping into any state, whether or not that state is sleep, right, you go from shallow sleep to deep sleep and then out eventually. Focus too, you go from shallow focus to increasingly deep focus.”
