Good question; I had briefly considered whether “better focus” was actually measurable, then forgot to think about it further.
So now I’ve thought about it a little further and (maybe there’s a bias name for this phenomenon, but) yes, I will be going with subjective effects. It’s not clear to me if “focus” has more content than feeling focused, and in either case, what I want is the feeling of being focused—i.e., an awareness that what’s going on in my head corresponds closely to what my memory and senses tell me is going on outside of my head.
How do you plan to measure focus? Just subjective effects, or are you using QuantifiedMind, or pomodoro success rate, or something?
