170: The Productivity Habit That Changed How I lead

We all know that constant notifications are distracting, but what if they're also keeping you from becoming a better leader? In this episode, Dr. Jason shares one simple productivity habit that completely changed the way he manages his time, leads his team, and shows up for his family. Drawing from lessons learned during vacations in Italy, Croatia, and a recent week away in the Finger Lakes, he explains how batching emails, texts, and Slack messages freed him from the endless cycle of "checking in" and helped him become more intentional with the moments that actually matter. Jason challenges the idea that being constantly available equals being productive and offers practical strategies to reduce task switching, eliminate unnecessary distractions, and create more time for coaching your team, building relationships, and leading with purpose. If you've ever felt busy all day but accomplished very little, this episode will help you rethink how you spend your time and encourage you to build habits that make you a more effective leader, not just a busier one.
