LAUNCH: The Journey Behind Focus 39 and the Power of 39 Days
Finding focus can feel like an insurmountable challenge. Yet, focus is the key that unlocks our potential, enabling us to achieve our most ambitious goals. This realization led me to create Focus 39, a program designed to harness the transformative power of sustained focus over 39 days.
Why 39 Days?
You might wonder, why 39 days? The choice is both deliberate and significant. Research suggests that it takes, on average, around 21 to 66 days to form a new habit. By setting the program length at 39 days, we strike a balance that is long enough to instill lasting change but short enough to remain intensely engaging.
The number 39 also carries a symbolic weight. It represents a journey — a period substantial enough to experience transformation but concise enough to maintain unwavering commitment. It’s a timeframe that challenges you to push beyond your comfort zone while providing a clear, attainable finish line.
What Is Focus 39?
Focus 39 is more than just a productivity program; it’s a comprehensive 39-day challenge that combines structured focus techniques, skill stacking, and the power of community to help you achieve your most important goals. Whether you’re aiming for personal growth, career advancement, mastering a new skill, or breaking a longstanding habit, Focus 39 provides the framework to make it happen.
At its core, the program is about intentionality. It’s about making conscious choices to dedicate time and energy toward what truly matters to you. By leveraging proven methods and the support of a like-minded community, Focus 39 helps you cut through the noise and zero in on your objectives.
How It Works
The program is structured around several key components designed to reinforce focus and facilitate growth:
1. Structured Focus Techniques
We provide a toolkit filled with resources to help you manage your time and attention effectively. This includes:
Time-Blocking Worksheets: Templates that allow you to plan your day in dedicated blocks of time, ensuring that each task receives the attention it deserves.
Gamified Productivity Methods: Techniques like 13-minute sprints, where you work intensively for short bursts, making tasks feel more like engaging challenges than chores.
Recommended Templates: Customizable documents to help you track progress, set goals, and reflect on your journey.
2. Skill Stacking
Skill stacking involves combining complementary skills to create a unique advantage. Throughout the 39 days, you’ll identify and develop skills that not only enhance your primary focus but also contribute to your overall personal and professional growth.
3. Community Support
One of the most powerful aspects of Focus 39 is the community you’ll join:
Live Meetings: Regular virtual gatherings where members share experiences, challenges, and victories. These meetings foster accountability and provide a platform for mutual encouragement.
Ongoing Support: Access to a network of individuals who are equally committed to their goals. The community becomes a source of inspiration, advice, and motivation.
Who I Am and My Journey to Creating Focus 39
I’m Jane Grismer, a creative entrepreneur who has navigated the complexities of ADHD and dyslexia. My journey hasn’t been a straightforward path but rather a series of challenges that have shaped who I am today.
Early Struggles and Insights
Growing up with ADHD and dyslexia, I often felt at odds with traditional learning and productivity methods. Standard techniques didn’t resonate with me, and I struggled to find strategies that accommodated the way my mind works.
However, these challenges became the catalyst for exploration. I delved into various productivity systems, time management techniques, and cognitive strategies, always seeking methods that could align with my unique needs.
Discovering the Power of Focus
The turning point came when I started experimenting with time blocking and gamified productivity:
13-Minute Sprints: I found that working in 13-minute intervals kept me engaged. The odd number added a novelty factor, and the brief duration made tasks feel less daunting.
Visual Planning: Using colored pencils and graph paper, I began to visualize my tasks. Assigning colors to different categories added an element of creativity and made planning enjoyable.
Adaptable Tools: Incorporating graph paper Post-it notes into my journal allowed for flexibility. I could move tasks around and adjust my schedule as needed without feeling confined.
These techniques didn’t just improve my productivity; they transformed my relationship with work. Tasks became opportunities for engagement rather than obstacles to overcome.
Creating Focus 39
Motivated by my personal transformation, I felt compelled to share these insights with others. I recognized that many people struggle with focus, not due to a lack of effort but because they haven’t found methods that resonate with them.
I developed Focus 39 to offer a structured yet flexible framework that anyone can adapt to their needs. By combining practical tools with community support, the program addresses both the practical and emotional aspects of achieving sustained focus.

My journey with ADHD and dyslexia taught me that traditional paths aren’t the only routes to success. By embracing unconventional methods and trusting in the process of exploration, I discovered strategies that not only worked for me but could also empower others.
