Dan Clarke is the founder of Brain.fm, a service designed to help you focus on your task. It was popularized in 2016 via an AppSumo deal but has gone through many iterations since then.Brain.fm helps you manage distractions which can be a real challenge for writers. Distractions can take you away from your flow state and affect your writing.Dan Clark talked with me about how Brain.fm evolved and how writers and creatives can use it. Dan also states that it pays to understand what time of the day you’re creative, what time you’re productive, and what times you should step back from your work, switch off, and even do nothing. He talks about finding a balance between being bored and hyper-energetic and how that sweet spot can help you get into a creative groove. This interview is a more extended episode than usual because Dan has given a free preview of Brain.fm, which you can listen to at the end of this episode around the 25- or 30-minute mark. In this episode, we discuss:

• What is Brain.fm and how does it work?
• What are binaural beats?
• How the music is created
• The most effective way of listening to Brain.fm
• How writers can use Brain.fm
• How the product is changing and adapting
