99% of your problems stem from… 

YOU 

But, here’s the good news!

YOU are also the solution! 

Shake those unproductive thoughts and get back to the things that are actually advancing you and your business 

You are in control! 

There will always be distractions to take you away from what you want to accomplish 

Our brain's natural tendency veers you toward those distractions 

Because it wants you to avoid discomfort 

The discomfort of doing the hard things you know you need to do 

But when you overcome the internal struggle and do the hard things, life becomes easier 

Try doing this through 'identity based' habits

Like James Clear talks about in Atomic Habits 

So rather than focus on the 'tactics' of avoiding distractions like deleting apps, focus on the kind of person you want to be 

Say to yourself: "I AM a really productive person", "I AM a good parent", "I AM a healthy person" 

By taking on those identities you are more likely to do the hard things you know you need to do 

And if you're looking for tactics to avoid distractions then Nir Eyal's book Indistractable offers some great insights
