A short YouTube clip (a #short) in which Nir Eyal explains that being "indistractable" does not mean never getting distracted. Instead, indistractable people still experience distraction but recognize why the distraction occurred and can respond differently; Eyal cites his book Indistractable and relates the idea to his own experience.

The difference between a distractible person and an indistractable person is not that you stop getting distracted. Right? An indistractable person still gets distracted. I wrote the book Indistractable, and from time to time, I too get distracted. But here's the difference. When an indistractable person finds themselves getting distracted, they look at that distraction and they know why they got distraction.
