Chris Bailey shares insights on how tasks that lack personal meaning, are ambiguous, unstructured, boring, difficult, and lack intrinsic rewards make us more likely to procrastinate. He also explains how our attention is drawn to things that are pleasurable, threatening, and novel, and how this affects our ability to focus. Jordan Harbinger and Chris discuss their own struggles with distractions and how to overcome them.In this clip
