Episode 27: Managing Distractions: How to Take Control and Boost Productivity


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Prescribing Success podcast! Today, we're diving into a topic that's close to my heart: distraction. As someone who’s been diagnosed with ADHD, I’ve had my fair share of struggles with staying focused. In this episode, I'll share some insights I've gained from personal experience and audiobooks about how to understand and manage distractions more effectively. We'll also explore some practical strategies that have helped me reclaim my time and boost productivity. Let’s get into it!


Topics Covered:


  • We discuss how to identify distractions by first knowing what they’re distracting you from. If you don’t have a clear plan or goal, it’s hard to determine if something is truly a distraction.
  • I share my journey from resisting to embracing planning. By scheduling and time-blocking, I've transformed my workweek from 40 hours to as few as 10, and it’s opened up more time for personal and family activities.
  • Learn how to split your time effectively between work, personal activities, and relationships. I explain the process of filling out a detailed calendar and the benefits of scheduling even routine tasks like eating and resting.
  • I introduce the REAL method—Review, Edit, Apply, Lean In—for managing your schedule. This method helps you stay on top of your tasks and make necessary adjustments to improve productivity.
  • For those struggling with distractions, I recommend the book Indistractable by Nir Eyal and Julie Lee. It offers practical advice on controlling your attention and taking charge of your life.


Give the REAL method a try today and see how it transforms your productivity. Thanks for tuning in! Don’t forget to subscribe and join me next time for more tips on achieving success and balance.
