In an attempt to stay focused while writing, I bought a 1990s word processor without an internet connection. The core of the book discusses the key methods of becoming Indistractable:- Master INTERNAL Triggers- Make time for TRACTION- Hack Back EXTERNAL Triggers- Prevent DISTRACTION with PactsEach chapter is easy to read and really helps you understand the key concepts. Part Three follows with a no-holds-barred examination of the unwanted external triggers that hamper our productivity and diminish our well-being. I read a lot of books like this but it's amazing how distractions creep back in and you have to remind yourself to take control of your own time.

A few weeks later, I had a stack of unread papers piled neatly next to me as I watched the news on TV. I discovered the power of managing emotions when I set out to find a cure for my chronic distraction. Nir Eyal understands the modern technologies of attention from the inside, and in this practical and timely book, he shares the secrets to regaining, and sustaining, the capacity to focus on what matters.

We understand that if we want to be more productive at work, we need to stop wasting time and actually do the work. If you're reading this book, my guess is you've already tried those techniques and, like me, found they didn't quite do the trick for you. This book has done more to change the way I see the world than anything I've read in the past several years. It's not the screen, it's the parenting and there are some brilliant ideas on how to achieve a better outcome.

Empowering and optimistic, Indistractable provides practical, novel techniques to control your time and attention – helping you live the life you really want. A graduate and instructor in Stanford's Graduate School of Business, Nir Eyal has studied and taught behavioral design with and to industry-leading experts and scientists.Most people don’t want to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth that distraction is always an unhealthy escape from reality. You sit down at your desk to work on an important project, but a notification on your phone interrupts your morning. I recently read that the pope wanted to alter a line of the Lord’s Prayer, from “lead us not into temptation” to “do not let us fall into temptation”. Also, while the idea of timeboxing is appreciated, the truth is not everyone has the ability to plan, at the beginning of each week, slots of work, personal and free time in boxed increments. Empowering and optimistic, this is the book that will help you design your time, realise your ambitions, and live the life you really want.
