Ever feel like you're constantly being pulled in a million directions—Slack, email, texts, pings, dings, and buzzes? Suddenly, you’ve jumped between five things and finished none of them.

Sound familiar?

That's exactly why we recommend turning off all notifications No banners. No buzzes. No red bubbles shouting for attention. Just quiet.

In Episode 46 of Automate Your Agency, Alane and Micah talk about the surprisingly simple mindset shift that allowed us to reclaim focus, how we handle the fear of missing something urgent, and why turning off notifications might be one of the healthiest things you can do.

You'll discover:

The impact of constant notifications on productivity and focus
How to distinguish between true urgency and unnecessary interruptions
What improved when we eliminated all notifications
Practical systems for staying organized and responsive—without the overwhelm

This episode is for business owners and leaders who are tired of feeling “on” 24/7 and ready to reclaim some calm without sacrificing responsiveness. Trust us: your brain will thank you.
