Distraction Management
category
Distraction management is the deliberate architectural design of one's physical, digital, and social environment to minimize the frequency and potency of attention interruptions — including device-free work sessions, notification elimination, social media friction, and the scheduled separation of communication time from creation time.
Role
Most people believe they have a self-control problem with distraction; in reality, they have an environment design problem. The brain is not failing — it is responding rationally to stimuli engineered by billion-dollar companies to be irresistible. The solution is environmental, not motivational: restructuring the conditions in which you work so that distraction requires effort and deep focus is the path of least resistance.
