What's your Superpower?
To live the life we want, we not only need to do the right things, but we also need to stop doing the things that divert us from our goals.
- We need to learn how to avoid distraction. Living the life we want not only requires doing the right things, but also necessitates not doing the things we know we'll regret.
- The problem is deeper than tech. Being indistractable isn't about being a Luddite. It's about understanding the real reasons why we do things against our best interests.
- Here's what it takes. We can be indistractable by learning and adopting four key strategies.

Traction & Distraction
We can understand traction as the actions that draw us towards what we want in life.
On the other hand, distractions impede us from progressing towards our envisioned life.
Both traction and distraction are prompted by triggers. These triggers can be internal or external.
These triggers, wether internal or external, result in an action which can be aligned with our broader intention (traction), or misaligned (distraction).
- Traction helps us accomplish goals.
- Distraction leads us away from them.

Focus on your true needs
We are compelled to reach for things we supposedly need but really don't.
- We don't need to check our email right now.
- We don't need to see that Instagram story.
Though it's not our fault distractions exist, managing them is our responsability.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
