So life is kinda hard these days for lots of reasons,

We're always surrounded by fancy technology,

and a world of games and TV shows at our fingertips.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this stuff,

but it becomes a problem when it's distracting us

from the things that we actually want to do.

And there's probably three reasons why we get distracted

from the stuff that actually matters to us.

the thing we're trying to do is just too hard.

or get our fingers to do what we want them to do

as soon as a distraction comes our way we rejoice.

And number three, the distraction is just too prominent.

Most of us work with our phones at our desk

let's figure out ways that we can fight these distractions

from doing the things that actually matter to us.

Tip number one is somewhat counter-intuitive,

but that is to embrace welcome distractions.

Now, I draw the distinction here between welcome

An unwelcome distraction is like a notification

from Instagram that someone has, I don't know,

that's really not adding any real value to my life,

I'm just gonna end up doom scrolling through Instagram.

is something that I actually want to be distracting me.

when I was at university studying for my medical exams,

because I would welcome the distraction from my friends

and they'd come in and have a little bit of a chat.

under the point of university, yes was to pass the exam,

but the bigger point of university was to make friends

and to have a nice time and all that kind of stuff.

maybe I would get like 0.002% less on the exam,

but given that that work was not gonna be the thing

I would rather be distracted by my friends

hopefully if I'm working from home and I have kids,

I would welcome being distracted by the kids

when I'm on my death bed in a few years time,

will I wish I had worked harder and been more focused

or will I wish that I had spent more time

Tip number two for combating distractions

one of the main reasons why we get distracted

that we are being distracted from is just too boring.

What we wanna do is try and make the thing a lot more fun.

if we're having a great time watching a great film

Like it's very difficult to get distracted from that.

We tend to get distracted from the things that are boring

And so, if we focus on optimising for fun,
