Getting off track loves chaos disguised as productivity. Fifteen alerts, ten graphs you never open ... it feels busy but not better. This episode is about keeping the good noise and ditching the rest, and setting up a weekly look‑back that takes just ten minutes.

What You’ll Learn

• Why noise steals your edge: when everything pings urgent, your brain filters to survive; settings drift and thresholds no longer match real life.
• Good‑Noise Check: keep only the alerts that change your behavior (urgent low, rapid rise/fall, a single high) and audit the rest; pause or turn them down for a week so your brain relearns “when it pings, it matters.”
• 10‑Minute Weekly Look‑Back: pick a repeating slot (Sunday night or Monday morning), look at your week for ten minutes, answer a few questions, and pick one tweak to carry forward.

Tiny Levers
Choose one lever for the next seven days:

• Good‑Noise Check: Audit your alerts and keep only the ones that truly move you to act.
• 10‑Minute Weekly Look‑Back: Schedule a ten‑minute review of your week and pick one small tweak.

Take Action
Choose the lever that makes the most sense for you and commit to it. Think about why you’re choosing it and share that thought with Neil.
