AS THE name suggests, “monk mode” is all about maximising your capabilities by adopting the studious, solitary lifestyle of a monk.

This involves meditating, switching off your phone, cutting yourself off from social networks and limiting your interactions with colleagues who could hinder your productivity. Some followers of this concentration-boosting method go even further by abandoning their social life or abstaining from certain substances (alcohol, coffee, sugar) in order to focus on performing to their very best ability.
