The Problem With "Quickly"

How many times a day do you say: "I'll just quickly..."

I'll just quickly check my email.

I'll just quickly respond to this message.

I'll just quickly look something up.

Most of these tasks only take a few minutes.

The problem isn't the time they take.

It's what they do to your attention.

In this episode, I explore:

why "quickly" is one of the biggest threats to meaningful work

how important work gets pushed aside by other important work

why quick tasks feel more rewarding than strategic work

and the hidden reason we often interrupt ourselves when things start feeling uncomfortable

Because priorities rarely fall apart because of one big decision.

They usually unravel through dozens of tiny, completely reasonable ones.
