**Duration:** 90 min  
  
**Type:** Workshop  
  
**Speakers:** Pauline Bourmeau (Cookie)

**Abstract**

If you are done hearing about focus on one side and productivity on the other, you are not an alien. This workshop is about breaking misconceptions, focus and work (especially in cybersecurity demanding tasks). You’ll learn the ropes to reprogram your brain (using the language of your choice).

**Description**

The outline:

- Super duper intro to focus and flow
- Understand your system
- Hack your system with computer programming
- Take advantage of your multi-core processing
- Personal use of AI
- Build systems to help others
- Practice brain-f\*\*\*
- Colors and music - make some noise - even if you don’t know how to sing.

I’ll teach you what I’ve learned along the way and how I’ve hacked my brain after some adventures and misadventures in the curious world of brain injury recovery.

Requirements:  
Bring your brain.
