I’m listening to this episode of Lenny’s Podcast: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/strategies-for-becoming-less-distractible
My biggest takeaways:
- The reason we allow ourselves to be distracted. Procrastination is an emotion regulation problem.
- Turning values into time (blocks)
- Recognizing how much agency I have in resisting distractions (adopt an agency mindset)
- Identity pacts (e.g. I am a person who works out, etc.)
- The importance of communicating to others that we are “indistractable”
