I came across this email tonight and had to laugh.
I love flow. But I also have an analytical mind that can go down a rabbit hole in seconds.
Case in point: I sat down to look at my finances. Twenty minutes later, I was reading an article about distraction. 😅
Nir Eyal says, ask yourself: “W𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰?”undefined
If you 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 it, it’s 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. If it pulls you off your plan, it’s distraction.
4 ways Nir Eyal Suggests
1️⃣ Plan first. Decide what you’ll do before you start.
2️⃣ Check the match. Planned it? Traction. Didn’t? Distraction.
3️⃣ Watch “busy” work. Email can still pull you off track.
4️⃣ Stop blaming the phone.
I planned finances. So this article was a distraction, even if it was a very interesting one.😁
