A 2 minute interruption is never really 2 minutes. I didn’t realise this for years. I was working with emails open, phone next to me, WhatsApp, people calling me... Basically, everything was interrupting me all day 😅 And every time I thought, it’s fine, it’s just 2 minutes.

Best-performing posts
Ranked by likes, across everything we analysed.
You recharge your phone at 30%. But your brain and energy, You let it run down to 0%. We do it most of our days, without thinking about. I did that for many years too, and I thought that was normal. I could work late easily and that was never a problem for me. But I was not seeing the impact.
Most people start their workday already distracted. Before 9am, they have already: ↳ Checked emails ↳ Answered messages ↳ Joined meetings ↳ Reacted to notifications Save this before your next workday starts controlling you.
For 27 years, my day started the same way. 7am. Open the inbox. And just like that, my priorities were gone. I was working in audit and consulting. And I thought being available all the time was the job. It wasn't. It made me busy, tired and scattered. Never actually ahead.
Your productivity problem doesn’t start at work. It starts with how you use your free time. In 1930 → most free time was spent with family Today → over 60% is spent online We didn’t lose time. We changed where we give it.
