Most of us look at our phones too much and too often. We’re distracted by the sounds and vibrations of notifications. We like to be distracted because it makes us feel important and wanted, but such interruptions can damage personal and professional relationships. 

Today’s guest is Nir Eyal, author of Indistractable. He offers several frameworks to understand and control internal urges to avoid being distracted. It’s easy to blame your phone for distractions, but it’s time to gain traction. What and who is more important and to blame? Your phone or your family?

Some of the highlights of the show include: 

  • Deep Dive into Human Psychology: Hooked on building habit-forming products
  • If you could have any superpower, which would you want to use for good?
  • Proximal vs. Root Cause: Distractions and reasons to procrastinate 
  • Motivated Reasoning: Place blame and pin responsibility on proximates  
  • Definition of Distraction: Opposite of distraction is not focus, but traction
  • Definition of Traction: Any action that pulls you toward what you want to do
  • External and internal triggers motivate us toward traction or distraction
  • How to channel discomfort into traction, not distraction:  
    • Step 1: Master internal triggers (re-imagine trigger, task, temperament)
    • Step 2: Make time for traction
    • Step 3: Hack back at external triggers
    • Step 4: Prevent distraction with pacts
