We love to procrastinate, don’t we? We are so good at finding distractions from what we know we need to do, to get ourselves where we want to be. Seriously. What is up with that? Nir Eyal joins us to help us understand our why, and what it takes to turn distraction into traction. Listen in and learn how to become indistractable.
