Stop blaming the noise. Most distraction starts inside.

Eyal calls it out clearly in : distraction begins with internal triggers, a state of discomfort like boredom, anxiety, and uncertainty. The pings, emails and likes only win when those (uncomfortable) feelings are already present.

Here I use Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow model to make this practical. Plot any task by skill on the X axis and interest or positive challenge on the Y. When they match high, attention locks in. When they do not, your mind looks for exits. Something is missing, either is too low of a challenge or you need to pump up your skills.

Two dials you control:
• If skill is low, add a tiny step, or a 15-minute micro-practice.
• If interest or challenge is low, shrink the slice, add a clear finish line, set a higher reward, look for accountability or connect it to a value that matters.

Use these two levers if you are constantly on the “distractable zone”. That is how you turn down the noise and turn up traction in a 24/7 world.

What if burnout isn’t vague at all, but a pattern you can spot early?

Here, I break down the three-element model from Dr. Christina Maslach and colleagues: exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy. This is the most cited framework in occupational health, formalized through the Maslach Burnout Inventory; it turns vague overwhelm into clear signals you can act on.

Why it matters: burnout isn’t just personal, it is a business strategy issue. Leaders who learn the signs and apply simple systems protect focus, performance, and well-being across their teams.

Quick self-check:
• Exhaustion: do I feel consistently depleted, even after rest
• Inefficacy: am I second-guessing my value or seeing less progress
• Cynicism: am I pulling away from people or work I used to enjoy

If this resonates, save it, share it, and tag someone who leads people.
If you want a practical session for your workplace, message me and I will send options.

Where should your energy go?

Use this 2×2 to cut noise fast: Energy (↓→↑) on Y, Resources (time or money: ↓→↑) on X.

• ↑E / ↑R — Keep & Scale: prioritize, productize, schedule more.
• ↑E / ↓R — Nurture (with limits): cap time; create a path to move right.
• ↓E / ↑R — Delegate/Redesign: automate, outsource, batch, or narrow scope.
• ↓E / ↓R — Eliminate: set an exit date or replace with a lighter alternative.

If you can’t drop it, reshape (boundary, frequency, duration, support) to protect your energy.

While some aspects of memory may evolve with age, such as short-term memory feeling weaker and the challenge of learning new things like languages, there's good news! Ebbinghaus's work, combined with neuroscientists' findings on cognitive functions, reveals that memory can remain robust through training, strategic approaches, and healthy lifestyle choices.

Very recently we learned that reading with a visual pointer helps you focus better, read faster, and improve your reading comprehension. We were both surprised at this fact, given that in our early years we were driven away (and usually not in a very kind manner) from using our fingers to guide our reading.

Well, it happens that using a visual pointer is a great tool to help you improve your reading skills. The human eye is naturally attracted by motion, it is an essential part of human nature. Following what moves may save you from being “food” or allow you to find “food”. While underlining the words while you read, helps to build focus, not skip any word and reduces vocalization (reading every word in your mind which slows down the reading process).

Unsure of this strategy (and maybe still afraid after four decades) I decided to try it out led by brain coach and author of Limitless, . First, I read for 2 minutes without using any visual pointer. I counted the number of words I was able to read (counted the lines and multiplied by 10). Then, I repeated the exercise and continued reading, this time using my finger as a visual guide. When I counted the words I was able to read, my speed improved by 15%, while perfectly understanding the content.

It felt good being able to use my finger again as a tool to read more and reach focus faster. You may want to give it a try too!

In our fast-paced and busy lives, finding time to prioritize our brain health can be a challenge. Just like we try to exercise regularly for physical fitness, we should also make time to exercise our brains. And the best part? There's a free exercise that can be done every day to boost your brain's health and potentially give you more healthy years in the long run: Reading.

Reading is to your mind what exercise is to your body. Developing a reading practice strengthens your brain's health; however, just like physical exercise, it requires effort, skill improvement, and time investment to see the gains.

Read along and explore some scientific facts about the benefits of reading and one powerful strategy to help you incorporate it into your life and boost your brainpower.

Don’t miss the .ca EMERGE Summit – a virtual summit focused on supporting and
inspiring women as they move to a proactive state and into a mindset where they are moving the needle
on achieving their personal and professional goals.

Mark your calendars for March 9th! Tickets on sale now.

The Women’s Network is thrilled to be back hosting the third annual Women's Professional Summit and
International Women's Day celebration, taking place on March 9th!

The theme of this year’s summit is EMERGE, which focuses on supporting and inspiring women as we
move to a proactive state and into a mindset where they are moving the needle on achieving our
personal and professional goals.

While the pandemic may be behind us, a recession is looming, and the workforce is changing. Women
are demanding new ways of working and contributing and calling for more accountability -- on both
sides of the table. Women are embracing the gig economy and creating better boundaries for us, our mental health, and the things that matter most to each of us. Collectively, we are revitalized with
ambition, intention, and purpose as we seek to contribute to our organizations in the highest way we can.

The 2023 Summit will include a robust agenda of keynote presentations, mini workshops, panel
discussions, and networking opportunities that will explore the theme of EMERGE.

For the first time, it will also be offering a post-event in person meet-up to connect with each other and
celebrate International Women’s Day.
