Overview
Indistractable explains distraction as a problem of internal triggers, environment design, and attention choices rather than only a problem of weak willpower. The founder lens is simple: keep the parts that improve judgment, simplify decisions, and make the next move easier to explain.

A better way to use this book
Bring the strongest lesson into a weekly review, a hiring conversation, or a product decision memo. Books become useful to founders when they improve operating judgment, not when they live in a highlights app.
