📖 I finished reading Indistractable by Nir Eyal this January, and it’s changed how I think about focus - especially as a design leader managing enterprise systems, a growing team, and everything outside of work.
🙌 The book’s premise is powerful: Being indistractable isn’t about eliminating distractions, it’s about managing internal triggers and designing your life around what matters most.
🎶 Here’s what resonated most:
- Distraction is an emotional regulation problem
- You can’t call yourself distracted if you don’t know what you’re distracted from
- External triggers are the last thing to fix, not the first
- Indistractability is a skill you can teach
The frameworks for helping your kids, your team, and yourself become less distractible are practical and research-backed. This isn’t just personal - it’s organizational. For anyone leading in tech, design, or product - where context-switching is constant and deep work is essential - this book offers a system, not just tips.
📚 Highly recommended this book alongside Deep Work and Atomic Habits.
