Dr. Noah St John explains how constantly checking email, messages, and notifications drains your energy without you realizing it. He recommends putting your phone on Do Not Disturb and scheduling specific times to check messages instead of staying in constant reactivity mode.
Hello, Dr. Noah. What is the one daily habit that drains your energy without you knowing?
One habit that's gonna drain your energy is constantly checking email or messages. You know, every time a notification comes in, a ding, your brain instantly goes to that thing and then it takes your focus off whatever you were doing. So when you're working, like let's say you're writing a book or you're writing a project, you're creating something, make sure you're really focused on that thing and put your phone away, put it on do not disturb, and don't check your email all the time constantly or your social media. Set aside specific times of the day, maybe in the morning and once in the afternoon, and that's it. And don't constantly get distracted. Stay focused, and that little habit is gonna pay huge dividends for you and your business.
Thank you, Dr. Noah.
