Identities are powerful. They can help us build the self-image we want. Whether the behavior is related to what we eat, how we treat others, or how we manage distraction, adopting an identity can help shape our behavior to reflect our values. This is why I look for opportunities to label myself as indistractable. For instance, when I’m working from home, I tell my wife and daughter that I’m indistractable prior to starting a focused work block. I use my phone’s “Do Not Disturb” function to send an auto-reply message stating that I’m indistractable to anyone who might contact me during my focused time. I even printed t-shirts with the word “INDISTRACTABLE” across the chest to reinforce my identity whenever I look in the mirror or someone asks me about my shirt. By adopting and reinforcing an identity of who we want to become, we can get closer to living our values. How do you identify and how does that help you live your values? #Identity #Values #Productivity …see more
