“The most effective way to sap distraction of its power is just to stop expecting things to be otherwise—to accept that this unpleasantness is simply what it feels like for finite humans to commit ourselves to the kinds of demanding and valuable tasks that force us to confront our limited control over how our lives unfold.”

Awesome book. Most productivity books are about how to fit ever more into your day to day. His foundation is that you will never be able to fit everything - instead, you have to choose deliberately what is important enough to fit in and accept the loss of what’s not important enough. Favorite productivity book I’ve read thus far (b/c it’s not actually about productivity).
