The Tax of Distraction

from Followership with Ryan Leak · host Ryan Leak

Nobody’s going to send you an invoice for being distracted. But research says it takes 23 minutes to fully refocus after a single interruption. Multiply that by a dozen times a day and you’re losing hours. Not minutes. Hours. We’re more connected than we’ve ever been and less focused than we’ve ever been. Ryan unpacks the hidden cost of the thing we’ve all normalized.In this episode, Ryan challenges you to do an honest audit of where your time is actually going, not where you think it’s going. Because distraction doesn’t just steal your productivity. It steals your presence. And the people you love deserve more than a distracted version of you.
