Near doesn't want you to change your entire being. Instead, he wants you to push yourself further and regain control. Re wiring our responses to distraction means changing our underlying attitudes. Focusing on the task at hand means not beating yourself up when you get distracted. You can embrace the difficulty of a task or use it as a chance to do things better.
This is a bonus episode, a shortcast. Shortcasts are something that I've partnered with Blinkist on for a year now. A shortcast is a 10-15 min version of a podcast where you get the core takeaways. This episode is with Nir Eyal on conquering distractions.
