In this episode of The Radical Ownership Podcast, Dr. Eric Perry examines how distractions, particularly entertainment, quietly derail our focus and undermine our accountability. With entertainment now actively seeking our attention through algorithms and notifications, it’s easy to lose sight of our goals. Dr. Perry explains how this constant pull toward instant gratification keeps us stuck in cycles of procrastination, making it harder to stay committed to our long-term objectives.

Dr. Perry highlights how distractions erode self-efficacy, our confidence in our ability to follow through, while also creating internal conflict through cognitive dissonance. He explores how this cycle of avoidance and guilt steals time, time that could be spent building a meaningful, purposeful life.
