Defeating Distraction, Once and For All

in #life5 years ago

In a digital world where we are all interconnected constantly, it can be easy to get distracted at all times.

Your attention has become valuable real estate. It has become a valuable currency to companies all over the globe.

These companies know what you think, how you live, where you live, what age you are and what you ate for breakfast...

Thanks to Facebook, Google and other large information conglomerates, these companies have turned distraction arbitrage into a science.

They are quite literally studying and devloping the best ways to distract you from what really matters and get you to focus on what they want you to focus on.

Be it content, products, services, ads.. whatever.

These companies simply want your attention and your money.

They want to continue to grow and prosper and they know that the best way to do that is to distract you and hold your attention for as long as possible.

So how do we defeat the endless turmoil of distractions? How do we continue to make our lives better and focus on the things that really matter?

My trick is to turn off the distractionsi n the morning.

I block out a certain amount of time before I eat lunch -- usually about 2-4 hours...

This time is meant for me to do the most important things without any of the least important distractions.

I work on things like creative work, reading and writing.

I think. I use my brain.

When it comes time to eat lunch, I unlock my phone and the distractions ensue.

This trick will literally save your life and your creativity. Try it and tell me how it works for you!
