Summary

Feeling your attention being pulled in many directions, especially as the holidays have begun?  Time management is a challenge for many of us in this day and age!  Nir Eyal writes, speaks, and advises on how to get out of your own way, create simple habits to more effectively manage time, and ultimately become an indistractable human being -- a virtual superpower for any aspiring high performer.

Coming from a background centered around the creation of habit-forming consumer products, Nir authored his first book, "Hooked", on persuasive technology.  Nir's second book, "Indistractable", focuses on personal habit formation within the lives of human beings.  The tools and techniques that Nir presents encourage productivity, focus, and success on a daily basis.

Listen as Nir details his simple, yet powerful, mechanisms to make you a more effective human TODAY.  Tune in to learn:

  • What distraction does to trick you. 
  • When it's time to get out of your own way! (And how to do it.)
  • Why scheduling your time is so important. 
  • How to become indistractable in 4 steps. 
  • Where conscious decisions and values come in to play.

A special message from Ben:

I'm not usually one for Black Friday or Cyber Monday... You'll never see me lining up outside stores, or hovering over the "Purchase" button.

However, I do love to give valuable things to people who work hard, appreciate and apply them...

So, I thought we'd give it a shot this year.  And it'll be some of the most valuable stuff you've received from me this entire year.

Just as a thank you for being a client, brand ambassador, podcast listener, webinar attendee or someone who is interested in becoming lean, healthy and muscular.
