How many of us have tried a digital detox before? ✋ I know I have! I started using an old-school cell phone so I couldn’t be tempted to use email, Instagram, and Twitter. To avoid wasting time reading too many news articles online, I purchased a subscription to the print edition of a newspaper. In an attempt to stay focused while writing, I bought a 1990s word processor without an internet connection. ❌ None of these things worked ❌ I found it too difficult to get around without the GPS and I missed all the other handy things my smartphone could do. The print newspaper subscription was a great idea, but soon I had a stack of unread papers piled up next to me as I watched the news on TV. When I’d sit down to write with my old word processor, I’d find myself glancing at the bookshelf and soon start flipping through books unrelated to my work. Somehow, I kept getting distracted. What was the root cause of this distraction? I recently spoke with Scott Miller for the FranklinCovey on Leadership Series where we spoke about 👇 • The psychology behind distraction • Why it took me fives years to write my last book, Indistractable • How to become an indistractable leader • And more!
