The Real Cost of Workplace Distractions and Hidden Biases

Second Thoughts

Are you getting less done despite working more? This episode breaks down how workplace distractions—from constant notifications to overstimulation—are sabotaging productivity. We discuss why it takes 20 minutes to regain focus after every interruption and what you can do to reclaim deep concentration.

The conversation also takes a turn into the hidden biases affecting workplace culture today. Why are some employees afraid to share their beliefs? We explore how social proof, media influence, and a lack of true dialogue perpetuate hidden divisions.

If you're looking for real talk on productivity, workplace culture, and how to find focus in a noisy world, this episode is for you.
