Text Emily!

If you do a Google search on how distractable we are, you'll get page after page of just how hard it is for us to pay attention nowadays. 

A well-known fact about human beings is that if what they're focusing on isn't interesting, or if they allow themselves to get distracted, or if we distract them... they tend to check out and we might have officially lost their attention for good. 

We don't want people getting distracted when consuming OUR content, do we!? No! We want their focus and preferably undivided attention. 

This episode will walk you through some ideas on how to decrease distractions and provide you with some tangible examples for keeping them engaged! 

In this episode: 

  • It's not you, it's them! Well, it's not entirely you... 
  • The human brains tendency to wander 47% of our waking hours 
  • Creative ideas on keeping their attention and getting them engaged
  • How to avoid distracting people in our content 
  • Whether or not ums, ahs, so's, and buts are all that bad
  • And MORE!
