Lesson 1: Become indistractable | Nir Eyal

Distraction is prompted by internal triggers. This Big Think+ class demonstrates how you can positively redirect your attention and undo self-fulfilling prophecies. In this video lesson, Eyal reveals how distraction actually occurs when trying to escape uncomfortable emotional states. To truly become “indistractable,” he argues that you have to address your internal triggers first. And that means acknowledging that time management is pain management. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive content, early, ad-free access to new releases, and more. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Explore content that enlightens, inspires, and transforms. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ►Get Big Think+ for Business Engage learners like never before with high-impact video microlearning from the biggest thinkers in the world. https://bigthink.com/plus/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Nir Eyal: Nir Eyal writes, consults, and teaches about the intersection of psychology, technology, and business.
