Stories from Nir Eyal’s students

It has already set a pace for more traction and be more mindful of every moment of this life that is a gift. Now will achieve more henceforth

I realised that social media is not the only problem; it was my lack of awareness of my internal triggers... I have learnt to be more self-compassionate and have improved my relationship with myself by understanding my internal triggers. This understanding has also led to a reduction in the over-consumption of social media.

I am now able to schedule my daily properly based on my values and I feel by doing this I am becoming more productive every day... I am able to realise how I am automatically distracted in my phone even if someone is talking to me and now I am able to control that and give priority to the person in front of me.

I was able to search for solutions not to be hyper-focused but give up on distractions. Since taking this quest I have implemented techniques to my daily tasks, resulting in my improved productivity, my distractions dissolved and I am able to use my time appropriately.

I was able to drill down to the root cause of my distractable behavior and the discomfort surrounding each of those through the actionable exercises provided... I am much more equipped to deal with not only my distractions but the difficult outcomes of frustration, anger, overwhelm, etc generates. Naturally, productivity and my self-worth have increased due to that and I am able to accomplish more at the same time.

I have OCD, this isn't some kind of hand washing or checking compulsion. In my case I have 'Mental compulsions' I can't stop thinking. It gets impossible to focus, to even stay in the present moment. This course has really helped me... It has also completely changed the way I schedule my day and create a to do list. Which is that it shouldn't be according number of tasks completed in a day but the number of hours dedicating to the task.
