Monk mode refers to the practice of solely working on one task and not giving in to distractions.
The concept of Monk mode has been popular among entrepreneurs and self-help gurus for over two decades and has seen a resurgence in recent times due to TikTok and Jay Shetty's book "Think Like A Monk."
People adopt Monk mode in different ways, ranging from turning off all devices to following a routine of meditation, exercise, and avoiding substances.
Since 2004, searches for monk mode have spiked periodically, according to data from Google Trends.
