“Most people don't want to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth that distraction is always an unhealthy escape from reality.” My latest guest, Nir Eyal, writes, consults, and teaches about the intersection of psychology, technology, and business. Nir previously taught as a Lecturer in Marketing at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford. In our conversation, Nir gives it to us straight. Distraction is killing us, and stopping us from reaching our full potential. In a world that is constantly conspiring to keep us distracted, Nir provides an alternative: we can take back control. We can regain our agency. All of these ideas are presented in his book, Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life (co-authored with Julie Li). This book is a clear guide to understanding the psychology behind our impulses and is chock-full of great anecdotes and peer-reviewed studies to help you better manage your time, and your life. Nir's framework is not only interesting, it is practical, so I suggest you check out our Substack, where you'll find the episode transcript and some actionable takeaways. I also encourage you to buy Nir's excellent book and start applying his strategies to your own life.  I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!

We are having a Stanford self-improvement sort of weekend. Yesterday, KEEN ON featured a conversation with two Stanford profs on how to acquire a venture capital mindset. Today, Jeremy Utley, the director of education at Stanford's Institute of Design, teaches us how to facilitate our own epiphanies. In his new co-authored book, IdeaFlow: The Only Business Metric that Matters, Utley - who boasts of having been “facilitating epiphanies for over 20 years” - promises to teach us how to radically innovate in the style of disruptive masters like Bezos or Jobs. Trust an evangelical Stanford prof to be in the business of transforming commercial innovation into religion. Not everyone, I suspect, will be quite as keen as Jeremy Utley in becoming personal assembly lines of their own creativity. Jeremy Utley is the Co-Founder of Stanford's Masters of Creativity at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford. He was formerly the Director of Executive Education at the Stanford d.school, where his blend of on-your-feet thinking and penetrating insight have earned him a reputation as a go-to advisor for CEO's and start-up founders alike. The co-author of the book ideaflow (2022), and co-host of the popular Paint & Pipette Podcast, continues to work on invention, discovery and entrepreneurship and demystifies the counter-intuitive techniques that drive productive creativity.  Known for his work in Lean Start-Up and Design Thinking methodologies, Jeremy shows their ability to drive product development and consumer engagement at a fraction of typical product development costs.  Jeremy is also a General Partner at Freespin Capital, a venture firm that helps legacy companies launch hyper-growth start-ups. He holds a BBA with Honors in Finance from The University of Texas at Austin (2005) and an MBA from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business (2009). Jeremy's book Ideaflow: The Only Business Metric That Matters unpacks why and how innovation is not an event, a workshop, a sprint, or a hackathon; it's a result of mastering ideaflow, a practice that elevates everything else you do. Check out the Ideaflow website at www.ideaflow.design.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

Matthew Worwood and Cyndi Burnett delve into a captivating discussion with guest Dr. Maureen Carroll about the dynamic landscape of professional development for educators.

Do you ever feel like the world has too many distractions? Is that a resounding Yes? Research highlights that being able to stay focused gives you a competitive edge in life and work. But, with so many demands on your attention, how can you enjoy using technology without it negatively affecting you? Nir Eyal's book Indistractable can help. People now recognize internal and external factors that trigger distraction. Additionally, psychological realities underline the various approaches to handling discomfort. Indistractable empowers readers to gain control over factors that reduce productivity. These factors distract them from their values, damage relationships, and diminish their well-being. In the current age, your brain is easily manipulated. This happens through time-insensitive diversions. You are manipulated, particularly if you don't equip yourself to control and manage distractions. You plan to do something but never fulfill it. Unfortunately, corporations are unlikely to produce less-distracting products. Still, humans can adapt to the threats. In his book Indistractable, Nir Eyal provides a conceptual model for achieving this. He also gives many practical and efficient guidelines and examples. These help readers put in place the strategies and overcome their struggles. These include the procedures for becoming indistractable. After going through the book's eight key ideas, you will understand what actions you need to gain control over your attention and life. Let's explore the key ideas to becoming indistractable.

Have you ever planned out what you wanted to accomplish in a given day, only to succumb to distractions that throw your schedule off track? While it's common to blame distraction on smartphones, social media, urgent emails, or any number of other things that may interrupt our focus, studies indicate that “external triggers” such as these are responsible for only about 10% of distraction. The remainder is caused by internal triggers, including boredom, stress, loneliness, and other uncomfortable emotional states – and mastering these internal triggers is the key to leading a more productive, balanced, and fulfilling life. As the author of the best-selling books, “Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products” and “Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life”, as well as a sought-after keynote speaker on consumer psychology, habits, personal productivity, and dealing with distraction in and out of the workplace, Nir Eyal's specialties lie at the intersection of psychology, technology, and business. He is also a former lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, and his writing has been featured in the New York Times, the Harvard Business Review, Time Magazine, and Psychology Today. In Episode 164 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Nir discusses the following ideas from “Indistractable”:  The true meaning of distraction – it's not something that happens to you, but rather an action you take that pulls you further away from your goals and values Four strategies for becoming indistractable: mastering internal triggers; making time for traction; hacking back external triggers; and preventing distraction with pacts The concept of timeboxing and the advantages it offers compared to other productivity techniques, including the traditional to-do list How to remain indistractable while also honoring your personal values  To purchase “Indistractable”, visit http://geni.us/indistractable.
