0:21 – Welcome and episode’s topic.
0:32 – Are you distracted often? Do you find yourself acting like a squirrel? How do we avoid distractions that pop-up?
1:20 – Distractions give us a dose of dopamine, but it takes away from your big goals.
1:58 – You have to detox and go through the withdrawal of not always checking your text messages or e-mails instantly. By responding to these distractions you are taking away time and energy from your main priorities and goals. Once you’ve decided to not always react to messages (or the like!) you will feel icky, at first. But! That icky feeling is a good sign. Count to five and remind yourself that you are one step closer to reaching your goals! Smile and celebrate.
4:00 – Schedule a specific time to answer the phone, e-mail, etc.
