What's one way you motivate yourself to finish projects? When I was working on my second book, Indistractable, I told a friend of mine that I'd give him $10,000 if I didn’t meet my deadline. I don't have to tell you what happened next. I finished my book and hit all my deadlines. Why? Because I didn't want to lose $10,000! This technique I used to stay on track and finish my work is called a price pact. I created a barrier that allowed me to overcome distraction and bring out my best, most efficient work. After implementing the first 3 steps of the Indistractable model -- mastering internal triggers, making time for traction, and hacking back external triggers -- precommitments like price pacts can act as a final firewall between you and distraction. Have you ever used a similar technique to accomplish a task on time? #Indistractable #Pacts #Productivity #WorkEthic #HackBack …see more
