On this week’s episode of Life and Lessons, you’re going to hear a conversation I had with Nir Eyal.

Once called "The Prophet of Habit-Forming Technology", Nir works at the intersection of psychology, technology and business – and is an expert in how to build positive habits and avoid negative ones.

He’s also the author of the best selling books Hooked and Indistractable.

In the next hour, you’re going to learn:

- Why big tech companies and media outlets will never help you win back more of your attention, and why it’s on each of us to take personal responsibility to do just that.

- The tools and techniques you can use to win back your attention, find more focus, and make better use of your time.

- The truth about what really causes distraction – and how the pings, rings, and dings of your smartphone are just 10% of the story.

- Why values, goals and time management will do more for your productivity than any exciting-sounding fad ever will.

And so much more.

Ollie is a personal trainer who is just about to enter training to become an Officer in the British Army.

In the next hour, you're going to learn:

- How to find the confidence to step into a gym

- What to look for when picking the right gym for you

- The kind of training programme to follow in the gym

- How to lose weight or gain muscle using food

And a lot more.
