Your phone notifications are costing you $43k per year. No, I'm not exaggerating. The average person checks their phone 96 times daily. (I might check it even more...) Each interruption costs you 23 minutes of focused work. Here's some 'quick' math: 96 checks 'ins' × even 10% causing significant distraction = 9.6 interruptions daily × that by 23 mins of recovery time = 220+ mins lost every workday × that by 260 workdays = 957 hours annually That's 24 FULL WORK WEEKS of lost productivity. (if I did my math correctly 🤣) At the average salary, that's $43,000+ gone... I tried a 30-day notification detox. And it increased my productivity. (Now, I did lose some joy, not gonna lie) But being less responsive made me more valuable. The solution isn't complicated: → Batch check messages 3x daily → Turn off ALL non-human notifications → Tell your team when you're going deep → Put your phone in another room during focus time Your attention isn't just your most valuable asset. It's the only one you can't get more of. What would you create with 957 extra hours this year? ----- If this hit home, repost ♻️ it And give me a follow → Nick Maciag 🙌
