Some snippets from the episode:

[00:00:42]
One thing that might be holding you back is distraction. The average person’s mind wanders about 47% of the time. It’s one of the things that’s becoming deeply exacerbated by our modern, over stimulated and hyper connected world. There are some things that we can do about it.

[00:07:19]
A lot of people think focus looks like sitting down in front of their computer and just like pumping out all of this work for hours on end. But the truth is, our human mind is designed to work in bursts of attention that are uninterrupted. It’s really a mind game to manage the distractions of modern life.

[00:11:04]
Deep work can be the way to truly maximize your brain’s potential and use it for its most critical tasks. Focus less on what you are doing and more on how you are being.
