Alone on Purpose

I set a timer for 15 minutes of uninterrupted quiet and got three text notifications before I even made it a quarter of the way through. That's when I realized something: I cannot get quiet by accident. If I want uninterrupted time to think, create, or pray, I have to build it on purpose and defend it like it matters because it does. And research backs me up. One small interruption costs way more than you think. In This Episode: There are two different kinds of quiet and they're not the same thing: quiet to recharge through prayer and Scripture, and quiet to create output and think through things that require real focus Research shows it takes over 20 minutes on average for your brain to fully regain deep focus after just one interruption, which means those little pings and questions are stealing way more time than you realize Jesus modeled both kinds of quiet: He withdrew to solitary places to pray, and He also called His disciples away to rest, showing us that both are non-negotiable parts of how we're made to function Access is the enemy of depth, so you have to decide on purpose that for a defined stretch of time, you are going to be unreachable, and then you have to actually protect that time by putting your phone in another room Connect with us!
