One Question to Help You Get More Done

Nir Eyal — author of Indistractable and Hooked — argues that in a world saturated with pings, dings, and alerts, the one question that defends your time is simply "Is this what I planned to do right now?" If yes, continue; if no, the work is not to demonise the distraction but to notice the gap between intention and behaviour. He pairs the question with timeboxing the day in advance, so the answer is always knowable, and frames it as the foundation of becoming what he calls indistractable.
