If you feel like you can’t get through a single task without being interrupted, you are not imagining it. Whether it is your phone lighting up, your kids asking for something the moment you sit down, or your brain suddenly reminding you of a dozen random things, interruptions are everywhere.
In this episode, I am breaking down the two biggest types of interruptions that derail your day. One comes from the outside, the other from inside your own head. I will walk you through how to identify both and share practical, easy-to-use strategies to help you finally create space for focused work time.
In This Episode, I’ll Cover:
- The difference between external and internal interruptions
- Why women are interrupted more often, both at home and at work
- A simple visual cue that helps reduce interruptions instantly
- A two-minute brain-clearing technique that helps quiet mental clutter
