The Attention Leak Audit

Reclaim clarity by tracking the tiny distractions stealing your focus.

🧠 ONE Smart Idea

Most founders don’t lose their edge in one big moment.

They lose it in a thousand tiny tabs—opened by habit, not intention.

You’re not “too distracted to focus.”
You’re just outnumbered by inputs you didn’t choose.

This 24-hour audit is your first defense: a clarity mirror.

📖 Story Spark

When I burned out in previous businesses, I didn’t blame tools.

I blamed time.

But it wasn’t time I lacked.
It was focus with integrity.

I’d start a deep task… then bounce to email. Or Twitter. Or Slack.

Each shift felt tiny—until I saw the total toll.

So I did a one-day audit. Logged every switch, every drift.

The results were brutal… and liberating.

Over 50% of my digital activity? Pure noise.

The next day, I built boundaries around it.
That was the day my mind came back.

⚙️ Tactical Application: How to Run a 24-Hour Time Audit

Step 1 – Log the Leaks
For one day, track each time you:

• Switch apps

• Grab your phone

• Refresh your inbox or social feed

Use voice notes or a quick note app—no spreadsheet needed.

Step 2 – Categorize Your Clicks
At the end of the day, label each as:

• High-value (deep work, decisions, strategy)

• Maintenance (email, comms, admin)

• Noise (random scrolls, curiosity loops)

Step 3 – Name the Triggers
What time of day? What emotion? What prompt?
Pattern recognition is power.

Step 4 – Block One Leak
Choose one recurring input—and set a new rule:

• Slack after lunch only

• Inbox at 11am + 4pm

• Social off during creation blocks

This isn’t restriction.
It’s designing your sovereignty.
