![]() ![]() ![]() There are better books on this topic (for instance, “The One Thing” by Gary Keller), but Eyal injects a fresh perspective and enough compelling ideas to make his book a decent read. The final 3 parts are more tactical and can be skimmed if you are already familiar with productivity literature. Eyal explains his system in these chapters. The first half of the book, parts 1-4 are the most useful. Timeboxing is one strategy he repeatedly endorses. To fight against these distractions, Eyal encourages us to plan ahead and be intentional about how we will spend our time. There are two types of distractions, internal and external. Traction gets us closer to those goals and distraction pushes us away from those goals. This quote from the first chapter sums up Eyal’s thinking: “Living the life we want requires not only doing the right things it also requires we stop doing the wrong things that take us off track.”Įyal’s “Indistractable Model” is his approach to productivity. Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life by Nir Eyal (2019) approaches productivity from the standpoint that the things we don’t do are as important as the things we do. ![]()
