4 stars. Worth a read, relevant, easy to digest.
As someone who has struggled with procrastination since I was a kid, and most recently a difficulty in resisting distraction, this book has been valuable in providing:
1. An easy and quick read
This is important because if the read is long and arduous, we have learnt in the internal triggers that it creates enough discomfort to make one seek or accept distraction.
2. A simple Indistractable framework in understanding traction/distraction and internal/external triggers
This enables easy recollection of the different dimensions for reflection and assessment of why and how we got distracted from what we originally planned.
3. Action-oriented advice
The book is geared towards people who want to immediately put things into action. App recommendations and outlook settings, of which some I already know of but there are some I don't. Some reviews said the case studies are brief but I think there really isn't more needed to make the case in point.
One consequence of my distraction is juggling multiple books and never finishing most of them. By the first few chapters, I had already made a pact to myself that my first task of putting what I learnt into action is to finish the book itself. So I did, and I'm proud of myself!
Perhaps one thing I didn't enjoy so much was the section about distractions at the workplace, but it is simply because it is much harder to execute and effect change in the workplace as compared to other external triggers. But I will try.
