The Indistractible Mantra
A simple mantra to make hard things easier.
Hey friend
Welcome to 200 Word Tuesdays. Where we give you short, actionable ideas to implement in your project management. We promise that you haven’t heard these powerful ideas anywhere else. Let’s get started.
Indistractable by Nir Eyal is a practical guide on how to regain control of your attention and focus in a world filled with distractions. The book offers strategies to help individuals break free from constant interruptions—both internal and external—and build habits that support productivity.
But that’s not what we want to talk about today.
Instead I’d like to share a mantra that the author himself shared in a podcast interview.
When there are hard times in his life, or work, he fuels himself with a mantra.
“This is where I get better”
A simple mantra but a powerful reframing.
It switches you from a victim of circumstance to someone in the drivers seat.
It helps you to think long term about your improvement.
It’s powerful at a time when you need it most.
Try this simple mantra next time you are in a tough spot.
See you next week,
Jonathan (The Effective Project Manager)
👋 One more thing
Before I go, I wanted to shamelessly plug my PM Task Tracker. I don’t use complicated software but I wanted a task tracker that actually works. So I made one myself. Click the link below to get it, and tell your friends.
