In this episode of Noodles in the Sandbox, we continue our mini-series on monsters, focusing on one we all know too well: the distraction monster. What does distraction look like in our daily lives, and how can we avoid it? Eva and Andrew break down their own experiences battling distraction, from noisy environments and tempting conversations to the allure of comfort zones. We’ll explore their strategies to overcome distraction, like the Pomodoro method, reset rituals, and other focus tips and tricks. If you’ve ever been derailed by a distracting GIF or a chatty friend, this episode is for you!
