fun, fear and focus: Fun get to work in an area that you are good at, fun is the purpose, something surprise, something funny. Fear: try new things, push the boundaries, challenge exceeds the skillset, do thing that is a bit difficult, create a deadline, experiment new things. Focus: don't multitask, when you play tennis match you don't stop in the middle of the game to answer a phone - that's crazy. when you try to focus you will release a certain chemical. So close the door, block notification, and find a work that is interesting and you care so you don't get easily distracted. Create a working environment that is fun, then the focus will come naturally. Improve the level of fun and inprove the level of fear and focus will come naturally.

The audience will leave this presentation with the same expectations. Google employs self motivated and team players.The presenter is giving a 'Do' 'Don't' work ethic. To be fair, it is relevant; but dopamine and focus must come from life's essentials -a good work environment, healthy food, exercise and fun which is not short lived but sustained through personal development.
