Being indistractable means striving to do what you say you’re going to do—whether that’s to exercise, eat right, be fully present with your family, or finish that big project at work. https://t.co/wzf2DBTVhm
Whether it’s watching the news to worry about somebody’s problems 3000 miles away or a drink or football or Facebook, unless you know what the deeper, real problem is, we’ll always find distraction.
That’s where we have to start.
We’ve become so obsessed with self-help books—finding the perfect diet, the perfect workout routine. But we basically already know what to do. We just need to get out of our own way.
Feeling burnt out is common, but studies show willpower isn’t a finite resource—it’s more like an emotion.
Just like we can’t run out of joy or anger, willpower ebbs and flows based on what’s happening to us and how we feel. Viewing it through this lens can help us to manage it.
