In today鈥檚 episode, I sit down with Nir Eyal to explore the nature of distraction and the journey to becoming "indistractable". We dive into understanding internal triggers, mastering them through practical techniques, and using commitment pacts to stay focused. Nir introduces concepts like the distraction notebook, the difference between traction and distraction, and how to align actions with personal goals. We also discuss managing external triggers, minimising tech and family distractions, and the idea of temptation bundling to combine rewards with tasks. Finally, we touch on the overdiagnosis of ADHD and the importance of following your curiosity.
