The right rituals—and the right conversations—can transform how your team collaborates.Strong collaboration starts with thoughtful practices and clear communication. As Molly Sands, Head of the Teamwork Lab at Atlassian, emphasizes, the teams that thrive are the ones that regularly pause to align on what matters and how they're progressing. “You want to know if you're making progress,” she notes, “and you want ways to redirect early—before you're scrambling at the end.”Through her research with teams across Atlassian and around the world, Sands has seen how small, consistent habits—monthly goal reviews, transparent updates, shared spaces for spontaneous interaction—build alignment, psychological safety, and momentum. And in hybrid and distributed environments, she highlights how “bursty” collaboration patterns and intentional meeting design help teams move faster without burning out.In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sands and host Matt Abrahams break down the rituals that make teamwork work, from OKR check-ins to collaboration hours to the rotating Chief Vibes Officer. No matter where your team sits, Sands shows how intentional communication unlocks connection, speed, and more satisfying ways of working together.Episode Reference Links:Molly SandsEp.241 Team Spirit: How to Make Group Work WorkConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:43) - Measuring Collaboration the Right Way (05:35) - Training Leaders & Goal Rituals (07:49) - Creating Space for Spontaneous Work (11:20) - Making In-Person Time Count (11:44) - Three High-Impact Team Gatherings (14:00) - Supporting Diverse Communication Styles (16:08) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.

Clarity doesn't come from cramming more into your calendar; it comes from reflection, structure, and the courage to trust your leadership intuition. We open up about three lessons that reshaped how we coach, lead, and build: embracing a blended coaching-consulting style, designing structure that expands capacity, and elevating intellectual property into true authority assets. These shifts turned an overloaded schedule into a focused operating system and reframed “scale at all costs” into “build with intention.”First, we dig into leadership identity and how it evolves when you move from formal titles to influence, impact, and results. You'll hear how reading the moment—offering space and questions when needed, or providing frameworks and direction when it matters—creates better outcomes for high performers. This is the practical art of discernment: serving clients and teams with the right approach at the right time, and trusting your intuition to guide the switch.Next, we tackle a common myth: time isn't the problem, structure is. We walk through specific practices that reduce overwhelm, from externalizing tasks and estimating realistically to protecting deep-work blocks and asking for real timelines before committing. You'll learn how structure supports energy, sharpens decisions, and prevents reactive mode, even during demanding weeks. The result is capacity you can feel and results you can measure.Finally, we reframe assets like courses, frameworks, and templates as strategic tools that strengthen authority and client experience. Instead of chasing scale for every asset, we show how codifying what already works accelerates onboarding, reinforces workshops, and creates consistency across engagements. You'll leave with prompts to identify your own underused IP and a path to leverage it with confidence.If this conversation sparks momentum, subscribe, share with a peer who leads, and leave a quick review so more high performers can find the show.

The Power of Compartmentalizing Your Time and ProjectsWelcome my friends to this week's episode of Motivational Moments with Maria. As always, I am inspired, grateful and passionate about the work I do. Every day I wake up and always start the day with this one question: Who needs me on my A game today? When you are a servant leader and know what your purpose and passion is, it's not work, it's a calling—and I get to work at this incredible career.Living your dream life isn't just about the destination – it's found in the work we do, the love we share and sometimes the laughter in the rain.Let me start with a question for you today.Ever finish a day feeling busy but strangely unfinished? I see you nodding your heads. Then what happens? You start to feel guilty that you didn't get everything done and start spending late nights to catch up at the expense of your health—and all of this is the tax you pay for constant context switching.If your brain feels like it has 27 tabs open and one of them is playing mystery music, you are not alone. Today, we're going to give your mind a breather, your calendar a makeover, and your confidence a fresh coat of “Oh yes, I can.”What compartmentalizing really means (and why your brain will thank you) Think of compartmentalizing as giving your time little labeled containers—like Tupperware, but for your focus. You decide what goes in each container, when you open it, and what stays out. No more letting Deep Work sit next to Leftover Guilt.

Mehr arbeiten bedeutet nicht automatisch mehr erreichen. Die meisten Selbstständigen verbringen 12+ Stunden am Tag mit E-Mails, Admin-Aufgaben und ständigen Unterbrechungen – aber nur 2-3 Stunden sind wirklich produktiv. Das Problem: Ablenkung ist zum Normalzustand geworden. Dein Handy, Social Media und die ständige Erreichbarkeit killen jeden Flow-Zustand. Die Lösung liegt in Deep Work: 6 Stunden fokussierte Arbeit schlagen 12 Stunden Chaos. Mit der 90-90-1-Rule von Robin Sharma startest du die nächsten 90 Tage jeden Morgen mit 90 Minuten an deiner wichtigsten Aufgabe – ohne Ablenkung, ohne Kompromisse. Dazu gibt's konkrete Hacks für deinen Tagesablauf: Create-Consume-Clear, Monotasking statt Multitasking und wie du deinen Kalender nach deiner Energie gestaltest.

The secret to effective teamwork and collaboration.To collaborate, we have to communicate. As Molly Sands knows, “The more that we can get on the same page, the more effective we are.”Sands is a behavioral scientist and the head of the Teamwork Lab at Atlassian, where she researches how teams can collaborate more effectively and efficiently, especially in distributed and hybrid work environments. As she's seen in her research and within her own team, “People can accomplish a lot more together when they work well together.” The key to unlocking that potential lies in communication that aligns people not just in their activity, but in their deeper goals and vision. “The best work happens when you start by asking why,” she says, “getting people to really understand: why is this a problem, why do we wanna solve it, and how are we uniquely positioned to do that? The more that we can map this out together, the more effective our teams tend to be.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sands and host Matt Abrahams discuss strategies for effective collaboration, from “page-led” meetings and asynchronous video messages to using AI as a collaborator. Whether your team is working face-to-face or across time zones, Sands' insights show how better communication is the key to better collaboration.Episode Reference Links:Molly SandsEp.241 Team Spirit: How to Make Group Work WorkConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:32) - How the Teamwork Lab Works (04:03) - Top Challenges for Teams (04:37) - Clarifying Goals & Alignment (07:19) - AI as a Collaborative Partner (09:25) - Atlassian's AI Onboarding Buddy (12:49) - Rethinking Meetings (15:58) - Three Types of Work Time (17:17) - Replacing Meetings with Asynchronous Video (20:02) - The Final Three Questions (24:11) - Conclusion  ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

This week on Shed and Shine, it's time for another Coffee Shop Conversation! Both topics in this episode reflect on recent transformative experiences. Rob shares insights from his annual Do Nothing retreat, where five days of stillness stripped away the noise and brought everyday moments into vivid presence. He reminds us that we rarely sit with our own thoughts, and when we do, it can unlock a quiet clarity.Gino recounts his yearly deep dive in Boulder with two lifelong friends, led this time by a soul-connected meditation guide. Through visualization and raw conversation, he found a renewed sense of connection, clarity, and most importantly, patience. These unplanned, soul-level check-ins are what make Coffee Shop Conversation so special: raw, real, and always pointing us back to the quiet truth within.

Natascha bringt Frameworks aus dem Product Management ins Vertriebsleben und zeigt, wie Sales Reps mit einfachen Prinzipien wie „Three Rocks“ oder Timeboxing wieder Kontrolle über Kalender, Energie und Zielerreichung gewinnen können. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Tools, sondern um Haltung: Warum sage ich ja? Wann sage ich bewusst nein? Und wie gelingt es, in stressigen Phasen die Aufgaben zu priorisieren, die wirklich Umsatz bewegen? Im Gespräch wird deutlich: Selbstorganisation ist kein Extra-Skill – sondern eine Voraussetzung für nachhaltige Performance. Und Führung beginnt nicht erst mit dem Team – sondern bei der Verantwortung für die eigene Zeit. Eine Folge für alle, die merken, dass "mehr arbeiten" nicht die Lösung ist – und die lernen wollen, wie man mit mehr Klarheit, weniger Stress und smarter Priorisierung durch das härteste Quartal des Jahres kommt. Takeaways Fokus entsteht durch Klarheit – nicht durch To-do-Listen.Drei "Rocks" pro Woche reichen oft aus, um echte Fortschritte zu machen.Nein sagen ist einfacher, wenn man vorher definiert hat, was wirklich zählt.Timeboxing hilft, Meetings und Deep Work voneinander zu trennen.Wer seinen Kalender nicht selbst steuert, wird gesteuert.Kommunikation ist Produktivität – wenn sie zum richtigen Zeitpunkt passiert.Führung beginnt mit Selbstführung – nicht mit einem Titel.Die Inbox ist nicht deine To-do-Liste – sondern die der anderen.Priorisierung ist ein Skill, der trainiert werden kann.Jeder hat Peak-Zeiten – der Tag sollte drum herum gebaut werden.Delegation braucht Klarheit – und eine saubere Definition of Done.Struktur ist kein Selbstzweck – sondern der Weg zu mehr Impact.Sound Bites „Mehr machen heißt nicht mehr schaffen.“ „Drei Rocks, mehr nicht – der Rest ist Bonus.“ „Dein Kalender ist ein Spiegel deiner Prioritäten.“ „Meetings gehören ans Ende vom Tag – nicht in die Konzentrationsphase.“ „Die besten Reps sind die, die sich selbst managen können.“ „Nein ist kein unhöfliches Wort – sondern ein strategisches.“ „Wer alles macht, schafft nichts richtig.“ „Dein Slack ist nicht dein Chef.“ „Verantwortung beginnt mit dem ersten Block im Kalender.“ „Deep Work ist planbar – wenn du dich traust, Platz zu schaffen.“ Chapters 00:00 Begrüßung & warum Zeit heute unsere knappste Ressource ist 02:30 Quereinstieg in den Sales – und was wir (nicht) gelernt haben 06:00 Sales als Skill-Job – warum Reden nicht reicht 10:30 Zeitmanagement vs. Fokus – was uns wirklich produktiv macht 12:40 Warum Q4 für viele die kritischste Phase des Jahres ist 14:15 Frameworks für Fokus – von Three Rocks bis Timeboxing 17:30 Was tue ich – und was lasse ich bewusst? 21:00 Wie Führungskräfte ihren Teams wirklich helfen können 25:00 Warum Selbstorganisation ein Karrierehebel ist 28:40 Kommunikation als Schlüssel zu Klarheit & Wirkung 34:00 Warm-up-Tasks, Konzentrationsphasen & die Realität im Kalender 39:30 Sales & Management: Zwei Rollen, ein Problem – Prioritäten 42:00 Delegation, Definition of Done & Erwartungsklarheit 45:00 Warum Struktur auch Entlastung ist 47:00 Letzter Gedanke: Wenn alles zu viel wird – einfach neu anfangen 48:00 Wo du Natascha findest – LinkedIn & Substack

Im Sonntagstalk spricht Volker Pietzsch mit Markus Coenen, Buchmacher, Autor und Coach. Ein Gespräch voller persönlicher Einblicke, klarer Gedanken und überraschender Wendungen. Markus erzählt, wie er vom eher mäßigen Schüler über Stationen in Jura, Marketing und Vertrieb seinen heutigen Weg gefunden hat – Menschen dabei zu begleiten, ihr eigenes Sachbuch zu verwirklichen. Themen im Talk: • warum Ehrlichkeit, Transparenz und Verlässlichkeit für ihn unverhandelbar sind • wie Bücher entstehen – zwischen Struktur, Zufall und echter Leidenschaft • Introversion, Deep Work und ein bewusst ausgeschaltetes Telefon • was Radio und Bücher gemeinsam haben: Vertrauen, Nähe und Geschichten, die bewegen • warum Leistung, Haltung und Reibung für ihn zum Menschsein dazugehören • und die besondere Rolle einer Widmung, wenn ein Buch wirklich gelingen soll https://markus-coenen.de/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/markuscoenen/

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Dr. Craig Mattson, professor of communication and author of Digital Overwhelm: A Mid-Career Guide to Coping at Work. Rather than encouraging digital detoxing or escaping technology, Craig offers a refreshing way to understand and navigate the pressures of modern work. He introduces the idea of digiwhelm, explains why so much of our stress comes from the communication modes we inhabit, and shows how leaders can respond with intention rather than overload. You will hear Craig describe why email can be more than information transfer, how mode switching differs from context switching, and why one-way communication sometimes matters more than dialogue. Craig also shares why signals like silence, gestures, and tone often communicate more than words. Before closing, he draws connections to life at home, offering ideas for families that feel overwhelmed by devices and demands. If you are looking for practical insights to reduce digital overwhelm, improve communication, and lead with greater clarity and calm, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Instead of digital minimalism, I recommend something like digital flexibility." "Humans are essentially users and switchers of modes." "What is going to be the defining overwhelm of my life?" "You are always overwhelmed by something." "Flexibility is the wisdom that my book is urging." "Your words do things." "Think about the voice of the email." "A mode is an approach, it is a posture, it is a way of relating." "Is there a way in which this is actually good for me and actually good for other people?" Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:33 Start of Interview 01:42 Early Life and Influences 02:57 Growing Up with Technology 04:11 What is Digiwhelm? 06:26 How Does It Compare to Overload? 08:35 The Impact of a David Ford Quote 10:34 Understanding Mode Switching 16:20 A Day in Communication Modes 22:04 Email as Conversation 24:29 Writing Email Like You Talk 27:24 Dissemination in Practice 32:00 Signals Leaders Should Notice 39:00 Coping with Digiwhelm at Home 43:04 End of Interview 43:44 Andy Comments After the Interview 48:14 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Craig and his work at DigitalOverwhelm.com.

Congratulations, you've reached the final day of your detox! Today, we solidify your gains with the Focus Architect Review. The challenge now isn't focus, but sustainability. We'll review the tangible shifts in your attention and create a final Long-Term Focus Blueprint. This practice locks in your new capacity for superior performance, ensuring that your mastery over the Dopamine Cycle remains your greatest, most enduring personal advantage. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. This challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

This is the most critical day: Flow State Ignition. You've built four powerful individual tools, and now we are chaining them together into one seamless sequence. By layering the Mudra, Breath, Affirmation, and Chakra focus, you dramatically accelerate the myelination of your focus pathways. This integration process ensures that the shift from fragmented attention to a state of Deep Work becomes an effortless, automatic reflex that you can trigger on demand. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419.

Today, we stop relying on fleeting motivation and tap into the core of willpower. Distraction is often simply the path of least resistance, requiring significant energy to overcome. Our energetic focus on the Manipura Chakra (Solar Plexus) cultivates a strong, steady inner fire. This is the source of self-discipline, giving you the internal strength required to push through the initial discomfort of high-value work and make your commitment to focus truly non-negotiable.

The Psychology of Leadership: Turn Stress into Peak Performance, with Sebastien Page,  a $500 billion fund manager How do top leaders and athletes use stress to boost performance instead of burning out?  Most high-achieving leaders believe they have to eliminate stress to perform their best—but sports psychology reveals the opposite is true.  The real problem isn't stress itself; it's operating too close to the edge without understanding your optimal performance zone, leading to burnout, lost creativity, and goal-induced blindness. In this episode of Impact with Ease, Blake talks with Sebastien Page, Chief Investment Officer at T. Rowe Price and author of The Psychology of Leadership, about the neuroscience and psychology of peak performance. Sebastien shares insights from 25 years as a leader in high-pressure finance, revealing how research from elite athletes like Simone Biles and Roger Federer can transform how you lead. You'll learn why zero stress isn't the goal, how to turn stress into energy, and the framework for sustainable success that helps you thrive at work while protecting what matters most in life.   Episode Highlights   Turning Stress Into Peak Performance [00:04] – Why zero stress isn't the goal for optimal performance [06:33] – The "second layer" of stress that leads to burnout [08:15] – The performance curve: when stress helps vs. harms your leadership   Sports Psychology Meets Executive Leadership [11:18] – Zone pacing: finding your optimal speed as a leader  [13:47] – Flow state and the balance between challenge and capability [15:20] – What Simone Biles teaches us about overtraining, rest, and coming back stronger   Deep Work, AI, and the Future of Leadership [23:35] – Deep work vs. shallow work for high-performing leaders [27:28] – The optimistic case for AI [30:00] – Why burned-out leaders can't innovate in the AI era [32:29] – Eric Hoffer's wisdom: "Learners inherit the earth"   Rethinking Success and the Psychology of Goals [34:15] – You're not burned out—you're addicted to the wrong goals [36:30] – The Harvard happiness study: what really predicts long-term fulfillment [38:48] – Achievement doesn't fix a misaligned life   Resilience, Failure, and Sustainable Success [48:23] – How small daily misalignments drain your energy [50:07] – Addressing small stressors [51:06] – Roger Federer and learning to lose well [55:31] – The one habit that predicts thriving   Powerful Quotes "What sports psychologists found is that optimal performance isn't at zero stress — it's at the point of healthy activation." – Sebastian Page "Achievement doesn't fix a misaligned life. How you feel day to day is what matters most." – Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned  Connect with Sebastian Page: https://www.psychologyofleadership.net/ https://www.instagram.com/sebastienpagebook?igsh=MWk2cWV2c2JmNGhiNA%3D%3D https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3mpHw7hFLiqCSawsBkK11g   Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

On Day 4, we create an automatic, zero-friction anchor for focus. The moment you feel the urge to procrastinate, you need an instant counter-move. By integrating the Hakini Mudra—the Gesture of Concentration—you give your body a simple, non-verbal command to 'Lock in.' This physical cue significantly shortens the transition time from a distracted state to a powerful Deep Work block, making attention a predictable reflex. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds.

Welcome to the first of our physical reset tools. Your constant exposure to notifications leaves your nervous system fragmented and erratic. Today, we deploy The Neural Navigator Breath—a calming, rhythmic technique (Nadi Shodhana) scientifically proven to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This practice is your fast-pass out of the agitated Default Mode Network (DMN), stabilizing your attention and preparing your mind for immediate, high-quality concentration."

On Day 2, we tackle the internal monologue. True, effortless focus begins with identity. If you constantly tell yourself you're easily distracted, your brain works hard to prove you right. Today, we're using the power of affirmation to embed a new self-image into your subconscious. Get ready to release the belief that focus is hard, and anchor into the truth: 'I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower,' shifting your internal identity away from effort and toward effortless alignment." This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. this challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Today, we use powerful visualization techniques to bypass the limitations of your current attention span. You will mentally map the feeling of laser focus, activating the same neurological pathways that fire during successful deep work. This practice immediately begins the rewiring process by showing your brain what consistent attention feels like.

Cal Newport wrote the book titled "Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World." I have been talking about this idea of shallow thinking and how damaging it is to humanity. In 2016, Cal Newport discussed the idea of shallow work. The concepts go hand-in-hand. Join me this week for a deeper dive into what deep work is and why it is more important than ever. Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted WorldFlow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience

Do you ever end the day feeling like you were busy nonstop… but somehow didn't really get anything done? Between the texts, the quick favors, the emails, the “just a minute” tasks—it's no wonder our focus feels shredded. Research from UC Irvine shows that after each interruption, it takes an average of 23 minutes to fully return to your original task. Multiply that by a few dozen interruptions, and there goes your deep work. In this solo episode, Kate shares the simple system she uses to protect her focus without letting the rest of life fall apart. It's a daily practice that corrals distractions, clears mental clutter, and helps you end the day feeling both productive and peaceful. You'll learn: Why “just a quick reply” can secretly cost you half an hour of focus What context switching does to your brain (and how to stop it) How to separate what's urgent from what's important The hidden power of batching micro-tasks How to close the workday with clarity and calm This small mindset shift can change the way you work, lead, and live—no assistant required. Mentioned: Gloria Mark's research on interruptions (UC Irvine) American Psychological Association on multitasking Cal Newport's Deep Work David Allen's Getting Things Done The Eisenhower Matrix Keep going:

Distractions in the workplace are almost endless, from Slack group notifications to questions from colleagues to the dozen or more tabs you've got open in your browser. By the time your next meeting comes along, you realise two hours have passed and you've barely done any productive work at all.  Sound familiar? Thankfully there's a method to improve your efficiency and concentration which may help. It's called deep work. We owe it to Cal Newport, a computer science professor at Georgetown University in the US. Newport is a renowned figure in personal development and in 2016 he released a self-help book entitled: Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World, which would go on to be a bestseller. Where does the concept come from? What's the best way to concentrate on deep work? What if my boss and colleagues think I'm being rude? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

A recent study called into question a core assumption about the generative AI revolution: that these tools, at the very least, will make us more productive. In this episode, Cal dives deep into the study and argues that when it comes to efforts that require deep work, AI can sometimes make things worse. He then answers listener questions and then takes a closer look at an article claiming that the lack of Wi-Fi in a West Virginia school is making their students dumber. Below are the questions covered in today's episode (with their timestamps).

We're back for Season 27, titled “Taming our Technologies: [Spiritual] Practices for a Digital Age.” This season we have a special co-host, pastor, author, and podcast host Jay Y. Kim! Jay will be joining Ruth all season long to explore the impact technology is having on our lives with God, our attention span, our parenting, our community, and our creativity. Jay and Ruth will wrestle with their own questions and wonderings about finding balance in using technology in good and helpful ways while also acknowledging its challenges. This season aims to be gracefully thought-provoking, practically helpful, and ultimately hopeful and encouraging. In order to dive right in to those big topics, Ruth and Jay are setting up the season with an introductory conversation we are calling “episode 0.” In this episode, Ruth and Jay dive into the topic of taming technology and its intersection with spiritual practices in a digital age. They discuss the complexities and emotional layers of technology's role in spiritual formation, ministry, and personal well-being. Ruth shares her long-standing interest in the subject and how technology has transformed her ministry and personal life. Jay brings his experiences as a pastor in Silicon Valley and shares a touching story about technology's impact on his own family life. Then the two do some definitional work around what exactly we mean by technology this season.   Jay Kim serves as lead pastor at West Gate Church in the Silicon Valley of California. He's the author of several books including Analog Christian, Analog Church, and Listen, Listen, Speak. Jay also hosts the Digital Examen podcast and much of his work focuses on the intersection of the digital age and spiritual formation.    Mentioned in the episode: Deep Work  by Cal Newport Analog Christian by Jay Y.

Social media platforms are designed to hijack our brain's reward system, keeping us hooked through endless dopamine hits. This constant stimulation fragments our attention, reshapes our behavior, and can lead to burnout, anxiety, and even addiction—especially in developing brains. The more we scroll, the more we crave quick hits of novelty, making it harder to tolerate boredom or engage in deeper, more meaningful tasks. And while adults may struggle, kids are even more vulnerable, facing emotional dysregulation and long-term brain changes. The good news? Awareness is the first step toward reclaiming agency and creating healthier boundaries in a world built for distraction. Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist, bestselling author, and professor at NYU's Stern School of Business. His research focuses on the moral foundations of culture and politics, exploring why good people are divided by religion, ideology, and values. He is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis, The Righteous Mind, and The Coddling of the American Mind (co-authored with Greg Lukianoff), and has given four widely viewed TED talks. Haidt is also a co-founder of Heterodox Academy, the Constructive Dialogue Institute, and Ethical Systems—organizations that promote viewpoint diversity, constructive disagreement, and ethical leadership. Since 2018, he has turned his attention to the mental health crisis among teens and the role of social media in political polarization. His latest book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, was published in 2024. In 2019, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Cal Newport is an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University. In addition to researching cutting-edge technology, he also writes about the impact of these innovations on our culture. Newport is the author of six books, including Slow Productivity, Digital Minimalism, and Deep Work. His work has been featured in many publications, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Economist, and he has been writing essays for his personal website (CalNewport.com) for over a decade. He has never had a social media account. Tobias Rose-Stockwell is a writer, designer, and media researcher whose work has been featured in major outlets such as The Atlantic, WIRED, NPR, the BBC, CNN, and many others. His research has been cited in the adoption of key interventions to reduce toxicity and polarization within leading tech platforms. He previously led humanitarian projects in Southeast Asia focused on civil war reconstruction efforts, work for which he was honored with an award from the 14th Dalai Lama.
