Every alert interrupts more than the moment you spend checking it. Constant notifications can make reacting feel normal and sustained focus feel uncomfortable.

I explain how notifications hijack your attention, why repeated interruptions become a habit, and why strategy and problem-solving need uninterrupted thinking time. Decide which alerts deserve access to you and protect the space your best work requires.

Show Notes:

[09:52] Point 1: Your attention gets hijacked.

[13:28] Point 2: Your brain starts craving the interruption.

[18:38] Point 3: Deep thinking requires long periods of nothingness except thinking.
