Nir Eyal: Mastering Indistraction [The Knowledge Project Ep. #104]

In this thought-provoking episode of The Knowledge Project, Nir Eyal challenges conventional wisdom about technology addiction, revealing his four-step framework for becoming ‘indistractable.’

Learn why most productivity advice fails, how to master internal triggers driving distraction, and why time management is pain management. Discover practical techniques to reclaim your attention in a world designed to steal it, including why to-do lists are killing your productivity and how to use ‘schedule syncing’ for better work relationships.

Perfect for anyone struggling with focus in today’s hyperconnected world.
