    Every so often, someone reaches out to me and says, “You’ve gotta talk to so-and-so.”

    Sometimes I’m skeptical, but when it’s a good friend that is doing the talking, my ears perk up. That was the case when it was suggested I chat with today’s guest.

    nir eyal

    His name is Nir Eyal and he did not disappoint.

    His new book is called Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life.

    In it, he lays bare the secret of finally doing what you say you will do with a four-step, research-backed model.

    Indistractable reveals the key to getting the best out of technology, without letting it get the best of us.

    • We’ll dig into the root causes of distraction
    • Methods he recommends for avoiding distraction and interruptions at work?
    • …and plenty more!
