"it's easy to be distracted" reminds me of what Cal Newport seems to like pointing out. In "Deep Work", Newport also suggests distinguishing between 'shallow' and 'deep' activities. 'deep' = 'requires extended period of focus / attention'. Shallow = e.g. replying to messages. -- I think an important point is: even without any of these distractions, you still wouldn't be getting more than 3 hours of deep work each day. Albeit, not all work is deep. Meetings can be valuable. And not all the "unproductive distractions" given in TFA are bad.
