Be inspired, and don't measure your success by how many boxes get checked off on a to-do list. Stop making to-do lists and start mapping out your day with how much time you will spend on each task you are committed to doing. According to author and consultant Nir Eyal, technology is a tool that can help build healthy and lasting habits. Nir’s groundbreaking book Hooked is a guide to building products people use because they want to, not because they have to. In his new book Indistractable, Nir teaches from the intersection of psychology, technology, and business to lead us to what is possible if we follow through on our best intentions, stay focused, and overcome distractions.
