New Episode: Guardrails, not willpower

Published 11 days ago • 1 min read

Curious how I cut digital distractions?

The average person scrolls 2.5 hours a day and picks up their phone more than 150 times. No wonder focus feels impossible.

Here’s the secret: Don’t rely on willpower when you can use apps to save yourself from yourself.

In my latest episode, I share the exact guardrails I use to get the job done:

  • My LinkedIn-only “Follow 50” rule
  • No social media apps on my phone, and why
  • How I use a standing desk to discourage scrolling
  • The Unhook extension to prevent rabbit holes
  • Apps like ClearSpace, Freedom, Unhook, and Downcast that reduce distractions
  • My own screen time stats and top-used apps (spoiler: none are social media)

Digital distraction isn’t about discipline. It’s about setting up your devices—and your environment—for success.

Masterminds, Muscles, and Mystery Finds in the Garage I love having a virtual studio to balance out travel and home life, but nothing beats sitting across from a client in person. Last week, I met with two stars for intensives in South Carolina and Georgia. One powerful takeaway—could you be leading so loudly (think Siri or Alexa, always ready with an answer) that you’re actually disempowering your team? Another highlight was our quarterly mastermind retreat for Speakers With Impact...

My heartfelt, lesson-earned true story was chosen for a book that helps support others. I wanted to share a deeply personal story that's a little surreal. It’s featured in a new book called Speechless!, which includes 28 true stories from professional speakers around the world. My story? It’s about the time I delivered a virtual productivity training… From a nursing home With a surprise ragtime soundtrack While visiting my mother-in-law in hospice. It wasn’t professional. It wasn’t ideal. But...
