Episode 1847:

Carl Pullein reminds us that constant responsiveness does not define our worth, what truly matters is the quality of what we create. By embracing time blocking and carving out distraction-free hours, we reclaim our ability to focus deeply, produce meaningful work, and build real value rather than merely reacting to noise.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.carlpullein.com/blog/why-responding-to-distractions-does-not-make-you-valuable/30/8/2017

Quotes to ponder:

"Your value to your company and the world at large is not that you are responsive, but the work you bring to the world."

"There is no value in responding to an interruption within thirty seconds."

"Take a look at your calendar and find a period of time each day where you have no meetings or appointments and block that time out."
