We live in a world full of distractions, but how can we protect our time and keep distractions from getting in the way of our purpose? For this episode, Adam weighs in on why we allow distractions to take our time and mental energy. He also passes on the tricks he uses to stay committed to his work and his projects.

Whenever we get side-tracked from our work, we lose a lot of time not just in the distraction but also in trying to get back to work because our mind needs time and energy to adjust to the context switch. Oftentimes in these situations, we default into becoming the victim of our circumstances. However, we have the power to get rid of these distractions right from the get-go by taking small yet significant actions – actions like putting our phones away or turning our notifications off.

Instead of choosing to “multi-task” and being distracted, we can choose to wholeheartedly focus our attention and be completely present for the things that we are passionate about. When we are caught up in the things that we love, we won’t allow distractions to keep us from making the world a better place.
