Quotes:
Nir Eyal:
"Most people struggle with tech distractions, but there are others that are less obvious, such as email, or superfluous meetings. We want to beat up on tech but that's not actually the real source of the problem. And when we give up, when people tell us we have to hold our breath and wait for the tech companies to do something about it or the government to legislate it—that's just not going to happen. Change your mindset about the problem to empower yourself."
"Distraction in the workplace is a symptom of cultural dysfunction. Conditions in the workplace can literally drive people crazy. There is a type of work environment that has been shown to correlate with anxiety and depression … These causes can be traced to what makes people very distracted."
