“I can’t seem to get enough done.”

“I’m always distracted.”

“Why can’t I focus?”

I hear these complaints from my clients and readers all the time.

But when I recommend perhaps the most effective technique ever devised to help people stay on track, most of them balk.

“You want me to plan every minute of my day?”

Yes! Now what are you waiting for?

Timeboxing is among the most well-studied and powerful methods we know for getting things done.

It’s far more effective than running your life with a to-do list and it’s a critical component of becoming Indistractable.

Despite all the complaining about how distracting the world is given the cacophony of beeping and buzzing emanating from our digital devices, most people have no right to complain.

You can’t call something a distraction unless you know what it is…
