Summary

#808 You have to choose. Like most people, you can give up control of your time and attention to others. That's the default in today's world, but it's unlikely to put you on a path toward your goals. To succeed, you must make a different decision. You have to resist the things that break your focus and take control of your life. You have to be indistractable! This roundtable with author Nir Eyal and my business partner Matt Gartland is one of the most powerful discussions I've had on the podcast all year. Please listen in because the actionable tips shared today on managing your time are legit game-changers! We examine the lessons from Nir's latest book, Indistractable, and discuss willpower, scheduling, accountability, and even planned spontaneity. If your schedule is not aligned with your values and dreams, or even if you're too distracted by your smartphone, listen in to unlock your life!
