Want a technique to help manage distraction? It's called the 10-minute rule. If I find myself about to give in to some kind of distraction, I allow myself to indulge...but only after 10 minutes have passed. This approach is not about abstinence. It's about “surfing the urge” and building a habit of dealing with desire in a healthier way. Remember: Time management is pain management. We must learn to manage discomfort to become Indistractable. When you feel an urge to give in to a distraction, you have two choices: You can either sit with that sensation and explore it with curiosity (rather than contempt) or get back to the task you had planned to do.
