Episode notes
Start With A Five-Day Focus Experiment
- Run a short, time-limited experiment: block 25 minutes of focused work, put your phone away, and do this for five days.
- Start small to build habit momentum and accept setbacks as normal.
Leaders: Rethink Email Culture
- Leaders should model boundaries: delay-send evening emails and batch email into blocks (e.g., four times/day).
- Reset expectations with email signatures and urgent communication alternatives.
Batch Email To Reclaim Hours
- Batch email processing into a few daily blocks and communicate those times to colleagues.
- Use urgent alternatives (phone, in-person) and email signatures to set response norms.
