In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl comes in hot with a wake-up call about the hidden cost of distractions. He shares shocking stats about how often we're interrupted, how much time we lose to switching tasks, and why most knowledge workers only get two hours of deep work a day—on a good day. But this isn't just finger-pointing. It's Carl confronting his own habits and offering two tiny experiments to help us all reclaim our time: install RescueTime and schedule just two 90-minute distraction-free work blocks. No shame. No blame. Just a deep, empathetic punch in the nose—and a hug.
