1/ When it comes to becoming indistractable, you have to resist whataboutism.
2/ Too often, after hearing the four steps to becoming indistractable, people respond with a list of reasons why the techniques won’t work for them.

- What if I work overtime and don’t have time to exercise?
- What if I don’t have time to cook healthy meals?
3/ And here’s my response: Trust me and try it!

Everybody has obligations to their families, themselves, and workplaces that can interrupt plans.
4/ I spent 5 years researching the techniques in Indistractable and I know everyone will find a technique or strategy to help them stay focused and live the life they want.

But more than that, whataboutism misses the point of the indistractable model.
5/ The goal isn’t to prescribe super rigid tasks.

The goal is to decide how you spend your time with intent.

Maybe you don’t have time for a five-mile run every day or maybe you can’t always unplug from work exactly at 6:00.
6/ But ask yourself what CAN you do to align your time with your values?

Being indistractable isn’t about never getting distracted.
7/ It’s about striving to do the things you say you will.

It’s about being as honest with yourself as you are with others.

It’s about learning WHY you got distracted so it doesn’t happen again.
