Summary

Life is surrounded by many distractions, especially while we’re working from home. In today’s episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I had the opportunity to talk with author Nir Eyal before the COVID-19 pandemic. Nir and I talked about if the possibility exists of being “indistractable.” It’s an even more interesting discussion now that we’re staying in and looking for actions we can take to help us get ready for success and ready to crush it as soon as it’s safe to do so. You might be thinking that it’s impossible to not be distracted, but let me tell you that with the helpful strategies that Nir shares in this episode, you can start to develop new skills to control your focus. Nir shares amazing tips from his book, Indistractab;e: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life. From pinpointing specific external and internal triggers that can distract you to helpful tactics that can help you overcome them, you won’t want to miss this episode! Now is the perfect time to refine our skills and what better way to start than increasing your focus and eliminating your distractions! Listen now so you can learn these strategies and apply them now while you’re at home!
