#104 - Nir Eyal - How To Control Your At...

Chris Williamson
About this episode

Nir Eyal is an author, business owner and Teacher at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Design.

What would life be like if we didn't get distracted? What if we always followed through with the things we said we were going to do? That's the purpose of today's discussion.

Expect to learn how internal and external triggers can combine to form a breeding ground for poor productivity, and how making time for traction is just as important as avoiding distraction when getting things done.
