Let's talk about digital detoxes for a moment 👇 When I was working on my second book, Indistractable, I got rid of all my gadgets and devices. My thought process: If I just got rid of my distracting devices, I’d be able to complete every task with ease. Pretty simple, right?! Well... No, not so simple. Because when I got rid of my devices, I’d often have other distracting thoughts come to mind. I’d reorganize my desk over and over again or do some house chores I had been putting off. Somehow, I kept finding distractions... And this is when I realized something important: Distraction starts from within. The first step to dealing with distraction is to master internal triggers like loneliness, boredom, stress, and other uncomfortable emotions that can drive us to distraction. How we deal with uncomfortable internal triggers determines whether we pursue healthful acts of traction or self-defeating distractions. #Indistractble #Health #Productivity …see more
