I want to talk about a technique I use that helps me stay on task and manage distractions.. The 10-minute rule says that you can give into a distraction. But not right now. In 10 minutes. No matter the potential distraction -- checking your phone, responding to that email, turning on the TV -- you are allowed to do it after just 10 minutes of “surfing the urge. The idea is not to tell yourself “No!” Strict abstinence can backfire. Rather, you should tell yourself “Not yet” and watch your capacity to delay giving in to distraction improve over time.” I explain more in the video! Have you tried this technique before? #Indistractable #Productivity #Efficiency
