Max Pamies i del Campo's Key Ideas from Indistractable
by Nir Eyal, Julie Li-Eyal

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.

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.
