Josh Harris on Self Control and Distractions

I saw this video this morning and thought it was so right on the mark, at least in my life. I'm notoriously guilty of allowing myself to be distracted, and subsequently procrastinating what I'm called to do and how I'm called to live. I am definitely convicted by it, and struggle to take action against what is clearly a diversion tactic the enemy uses to keep us from effectively carrying out God's work and being spiritually filled. Doug Fields explains it simply in his book, ReFuel, "...You are not a threat to the enemy when you are spiritually empty. Emptiness is ineffectiveness. Empty is right where Satan wants you."

How many of the things Harris talks about in this video keep you from being filled?
