We’re so glad you’ve decided to take on Focus48. If you’re reading this, you’ve already made the first big step: choosing to take a closer look at your own habits and where your attention is going.

​

Depending on the level you chose, some parts of the next 48 hours might be a little tough. You might reach for your phone without thinking. You might feel bored, restless or tempted to fall back into old habits. That’s all part of noticing what’s become automatic.

​

And remember, even if you stumble or don’t stick to everything you planned, Focus48 isn’t about perfection. This is about giving yourself 48 hours to notice your habits, try something different and discover what can change when you become more intentional with your attention.

​

So all we ask is that you give it your best effort.

​

And don’t do it alone. Lean on the people around you - family, friends and teachers. If you’re doing Focus48 outside of a school group, tell someone what you’re doing and invite them to encourage you along the way.

We’re right behind you too.

​

If you don’t have the FOCUS48 Journal yet, it’s the one thing we really recommend having with you for the weekend. It’s been designed to help you through the 48 hours, with space to check in with yourself, notice your habits, write down what you’re thinking and feeling, and plenty of ideas for things to do when you’d normally reach for a screen.

Think of it as your companion for the weekend. Write in it, draw in it, take it with you, and at the end of the 48 hours, look back and see what you noticed, what surprised you and what might have changed.

​

You’ve got this.

Let’s see what these 48 hours can do.
