Is staying constantly connected costing you more than you think?

Our good intentions to stay engaged can quietly steal our focus, drain our energy, and derail our bigger goals. What starts as "just checking in" becomes a full-time job – and not the kind that moves the needle.There’s a hidden weight of everyday interactions – from endless group chats to overloaded inboxes. Cutting back might be the key to clarity, focus, and real progress.

Who actually needs your time? What if your inbox was empty? …and what if saying “no” gave you your life back?

• The difference between habits and “compounding decisions”
• Why one micro-decision can start a whole new trajectory
