6 Ways To Stop Getting Distracted and Start Getting Focused

About this episode

How many times have you looked at your phone today? How many times in a day do you scroll mindlessly on your favorite social media platform? How many times have you put down your phone to actually finish your work?

Devices distract us from focusing on what needs to be done. Pair that up with a working space or an environment that doesn’t entice creativity and productivity, we often end up losing focus of our goals and wasting our time doing something utterly unproductive.

In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty talks about the different distractions that block our will to stay ahead with our goals while diverting our focus on unproductive things.
