In today's episode, we go through a highly relatable topic on what some call the modern plague when it comes to hitting any end goal – and that is distraction.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's episode.

• The three main causes of distraction – external internal and planning problems.
• M.E.A. – minimum enjoyable action when it comes to any new exercise program
• His 'burn or burn' technique for weight loss
• How to not get distracted in the middle of your workouts.
• Why willpower and self-control doesn't help you with distractions
• Strategies for avoiding the 'gym distractors' who try and talk to you in the middle of workouts
• Why 'to do' lists can create the "I'm a loser" personal identity and what to do instead
