Imperturbable: Comment s'affranchir des distractions du monde numérique et rester maître de sa vie

While I don't agree with all of Nir's ideals & techniques (especially in regard to children & tech), I gained perspective from this well-put-together book! There were many aspects for personal, work, and relationship-based distractions I found EXTREMELY helpful & insightful. I see distraction in general as one of our society's greatest downfalls, and I want a focused & intentful life to be largely how I live. This book was a great springboard for many ideas!

I feel like I get distracted so incredibly easily anymore, so I picked up Indistractable in the hope that it would give me some ideas on how to focus more. Since finishing, I've installed a Safari stylesheet that blocks my Facebook news feed, which keeps me from infinite scrolling and clicking on dumb articles, and I've set screen time limits on my phone, limiting both my social media usage (down from 2+ hours a day to an hour or less) and my time near bedtime (no apps available from 9 pm on). This has surprisingly worked out very well. Of course, I know I can turn these limits off if I need to, but I've found myself reaching for my phone to set an alarm, then trying to check mail or Facebook out of habit. It's a relief when they aren't available to distract me. I'm looking forward to focusing on the things that matter to me more with some of the distractions out of the way. I wouldn't say this book is a must-read, but it has some useful strategies for how to avoid distractions and how to reframe how we handle notifications and technology. There's also a section on how to apply the indistractable ideas to raising kids, which may prove useful as my daughter gets older.
