About this listen
"Indistractable provides a framework that will deliver the focus you need to get results." (James Clear, author of Atomic Habits)
You sit down at your desk to work on an important project, but a notification on your phone interrupts your morning. Later, as you're about to get back to work, a colleague taps you on the shoulder to chat. At home, screens get in the way of quality time with your family. Another day goes by, and once again, your most important personal and professional goals are put on hold.
What would be possible if you followed through on your best intentions? What could you accomplish if you could stay focused and overcome distractions? What if you had the power to become "indistractable"?
International best-selling author, former Stanford lecturer, and behavioral design expert, Nir Eyal, wrote Silicon Valley's handbook for making technology habit-forming. Five years after publishing Hooked, Eyal reveals distraction's Achilles' heel in his groundbreaking new book.
In Indistractable, Eyal reveals the hidden psychology driving us to distraction. He describes why solving the problem is not as simple as swearing off our devices: Abstinence is impractical and often makes us want more.
Eyal lays bare the secret of finally doing what you say you will do with a four-step, research-backed model. Indistractable reveals the key to getting the best out of technology, without letting it get the best of us.
Inside, Eyal overturns conventional wisdom and reveals:
- Why distraction at work is a symptom of a dysfunctional company culture - and how to fix it
- What really drives human behavior and why "time management is pain management"
- Why your relationships (and your sex life) depend on you becoming indistractable
- How to raise indistractable children in an increasingly distracting world
Empowering and optimistic, Indistractable provides practical, novel techniques to control your time and attention - helping you live the life you really want.

The tone of voice shifts up and down between different sections of the same paragraph which can be off-putting.
Its an alright book, but the majority of it is about turning off notifications in different situations, we get it. Notifications are bad.

Educational with many useful tips, this book doesn't only help provide tips on how to procrastinate less but contains important life lessons on how to achieve big goals and to identify and address problems one may not realize we're caused by distractions. Highly recommended!

Some really good nuggets in here

For example; when finding myself distracted on the go in the real world, I'm not going have time to dig deep into these tool - figure out triggers, what's internal, external and execute on all this stuff...
The idea of being "indestractible" sounds great in an ideal world, but realistically there's not enough time in the moment to rely on these tools!
The book goes through alot of scientific and psychological layers, explaining the technical side of distractions - however, there's a lot of information...
It's so overwhelming trying to price everything together, use the workbook, the tools etc. that it makes me want to be distracted just to reset my head around this stuff!
Also be prepared to look up the definitions of words... I found myself having to pause and look up the definition words of all the technical jargon.
Overall 3-stars. Would defo deserve 5-stars if simplified and had realistic tools that could immediately be executed in real time of a distraction occuring.
Slightly too technical
