Update: 2025-07-08
Description
Why do we grab our phones the second we hear a ding? In this episode, Chris G talks about how those little notifications are messing with our focus, kind of like Pavlov’s dog. He shares how phones and apps are built to keep us hooked, and how that habit could be costing you time, money, and peace of mind. Chris offers simple ways to take back control, like turning on Do Not Disturb, setting boundaries, and leaning on your team. If you're always feeling behind or distracted, this one's for you. Want to get 10 hours back in your week? Start by putting the phone down.
