What could you accomplish if you knew how to improve concentration and overcome distractions? What if you had the power to stay focused and become “indistractable?” In today's Briefing we're going deep on distractions.

 

Nir Eyal is a behavioural scientist and former marketing lecturer at Stanford University and he’s written a number of books on technology and talks us through his groundbreaking new book Indestractable.

 

In today's Briefing we discuss:

  • What is distraction?
  • Our internal and external distraction Triggers
  • The 4 steps to becoming indistractable 
  • How to master our internal triggers and hack back external triggers
  • Getting the best out of technology, without letting it get the best of us

 

In today's headlines:
