How to finally stop getting distracted

I'm going to tell you step-by-step how to never get distracted again:

In order to get anything done, we need to be able to focus.

And all focus is: is simply not getting distracted.

Focusing is crucial, because you are competing against people in everything you do, and everyone gets 24 hours. 

So you can not beat them on time, you have to beat them on focus.

The way to get ahead, and the advantage and the leverage you can have, is your ability to focus.

So why do we get distracted?

We get distracted because our brain centers our decision making around dopamine.

This means that our brain is constantly scanning our environment for higher dopamine-inducing activities to replace the activity you are currently doing.

When you are working, and you are trying to focus on something, your brain constantly scans your environment for other higher dopamine-inducing activities you can do instead of work.

How do we stop getting distracted?

When your brain recognizes an activity that provides more dopamine than work, your brain will want to do that instead.

So when you don’t have your phone, or any of your devices, and your environment is clear of heavy dopamine inducing objects, your brain will gravitate towards work.

You don’t want any other stimulating activity to even be an option.

When you set up your environment so that working is the most stimulating task, your brain will gravitate towards work, and ultimately, not get distracted by anything else.

An applicable way to apply this, is to block out access to your social media and everything else stimulating in your environment. You want to do this during periods when you want to work and get things done. 

I can’t tell you enough about how powerful and life changing that utilizing this can be, this can help you achieve infinite focus and finally stop getting distracted.

Hope this helps! cheers 🙂
