Poddster Singapore

Do you consider yourself "indistractable"🤔? I’m not there yet—I’d say I have a classic case of shiny object syndrome🤩. If you’ve experienced this too, welcome to the club! Though I've made strides in staying focused over the years, there's still work to be done, so I'm always on the lookout for fresh insights on focus 👀 . Funny enough, even learning itself can become a distraction! Ever notice how, when we don’t feel like working, our minds suddenly come up with a hundred “urgent” topics to explore before getting back to the task at hand? Fortunately, last night’s learning was intentional, not accidental—I attended a Q&A session with Nir Eyal, author of "Indistractable", and walked away with some fascinating insights. Here’s what resonated: ✨ Become aware of what causes distractions About 90% of our distractions come from internal discomforts like boredom, anxiety, and self-doubt, not from external sources (which account for only about 10%). ✨ Address discomfort Nir shared two powerful techniques: 👉 10-minute rule: Sit with discomfort for a few minutes—don’t reach for your device or any other quick fix. Observe the emotion like a passing wave; often, it will fade on its own. 👉 Reframe with a mantra: When you don’t feel like tackling an important task, try saying, “This is what it feels like to improve. This is what it feels like to grow.” (slightly modified from the original) ✨ Time-box your values Block time in your calendar for what’s important, like time with loved ones, personal time, or exercise. Most of us only block work—and when work expands, it tends to fill every unclaimed space. Regularly ask yourself, How do my time investments reflect my values? For example, if you value health but don’t make time for exercise, it might be time to adjust your calendar or reassess your priorities. ✨ Make time for traction “Traction” is the opposite of distraction; it’s about intentionally investing time in what you choose to do—even if that means resting or doing nothing. If you get distracted, ask yourself: From what did I get distracted? If the answer is unclear, it may mean you weren’t fully intentional about your activity. ✨ Differentiate reflective vs. reactive work Do you set aside time each week for reflective work—like planning, strategizing, and reflecting—or are you always in “reactive” mode? ✨ Measure productivity differently Instead of asking, “Did I complete this task?” ask, “Did I manage to work on this task without distractions during the planned time block?” Over time, this approach helps you estimate task durations better, manage your workload more effectively, and feel more focused and accomplished. 💃 And here’s a big one: Self-perception matters. Start seeing yourself as “indistractable,” and whatever you choose to do, stay fully present in the moment. What are your best practices for staying "indistractable"?

You are the average of 5 people you spend most time with! Some 20 years ago, first book that really changed my view of the world was a book called “Swim with the Sharks”, written by Harvey Mackay. He says: “Our lives basically change in two ways – the people we meet and the books we read”. You can add a third way, now 20 years later: “listen to podcasts”. Well, yesterday we all had a chance to MEET an exceptional person, listen to a live podcast, and get our hands on his BOOK (those that were faster 😂). We had Nir Eyal at Poddster Singapore! We listened to him in Diary of the CEO, Impact Theory, and many more shows. He trained corporations, helped grow the most successful global startups, and now we were extremely fortunate to spent 2 hours with him. 💡 We were all dubbed #indistractible which is a super power in todays world 🥰 We learned how to create content that #hooks people by firing emotional triggers. 📝 We got some practical tips 🍷 We had fun and met other interesting people I’ve heard comments like “your book changed my life” and “I’ve been a fan for years”… we need MORE of this in our lives. People that walk into our lives and help us increase our average of 5 score, even if it’s just for 2 hours (at a time). I have a few people that impacted my life this way over the last 20 years. Who impacted yours? Tag them, or text them! #indistractable #hooked #podcasting #content #videopodcast #community #books

Are you a Liar? 👀 Do you hit the gym when you say you will? Do you avoid doom-scrolling as promised? Or do you let external distractions run your life? I’m guilty as charged 😂🙈 I had a great time learning from Nir Eyal last night at Poddster Singapore I’m fangirling 🤭 because his book ‘Becoming Indistractable’ has literally reshaped my life in ways I never imagined. Nir dropped some brutal truths—and if you’re ready for change, here are 5 nuggets of wisdom to take control back of your life : 1️⃣ Distraction isn’t about external triggers —It’s about managing your discomfort emotions. → 90% of distractions come from internal triggers—boredom, stress, frustration. → Until you master these emotions, no app blocker will save you. 2️⃣ The 10-Minute Rule - Ride the Wave. 🌊 → Feel the urge to scroll or procrastinate? Wait 10 minutes. → Most urges pass—and when they do, so does distraction’s grip on you. 3️⃣ Time-Boxing = Freedom. → Scheduling every priority isn’t a prison—it’s power. → Time-box your life or drown in to-do lists that lead to burnout and regret. 4️⃣ The Secret Sauce of Irresistible Content → The magic is in the mystery—the “what’s next?” factor keeps people coming back. → Surprise triggers dopamine, locking in attention and fueling the craving for more. 5️⃣ Set your identity “I Am Indistractable” → This isn’t just a mindset—it’s an identity setting. → When you commit to being indistractable, you build trust with yourself—and that’s how you win. Thanks so much Nir for sharing so generously, excited to implement some of your insights and witness extraordinary growth 🚀 Take control of your life. Master your triggers. Own your time ⏰ P.S : What will you stop lying about today? 👇 #Indistractable #MentalFitness #OwnYourTime #BreakTheCycle

Since I started Poddster Singapore I had the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people in this region and beyond. When Keith Yap, mentioned who he’s bringing as his next guest, I was very excited to finally meet Kishore Mahbubani. 🇸🇬 His tenure at the UN, including the role of President of the UN Security Council, helped position Singapore as a respected voice in international diplomacy. 🌏 He’s best known for advocating a more balanced and multipolar world, especially through his writings, including his most recent book “Living the Asian Century”. 📚 As the founding Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, he contributed to the development of Asia’s next generation of leaders in public policy 🏛️ He has been advocating for a rethinking of global governance structures to be more inclusive of rising powers from the Global South. This stance has stimulated much debate around the need for reform in institutions like the UN and the IMF. Mr Mahbubani has shaped discussions on global governance, Asia’s role in the world, and the necessity of East-West mutual understanding, making him a respected voice on issues of international relations and diplomacy. Having him at Poddster Singapore, is a real honour for us and we will stay committed to our own mission to democratize high quality content creation and allowing the conversation like this to happen. Listen to this conversation and follow “Front Row” podcast, where Keith Yap talks to thought leaders, policy makers, thinkers and practitioners, in order to help people understand the ideas shaping the Asian Century, here 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/gr6mTxax #thoughtleadership #diplomacy #UN #podcasting #videography
