One Tiny Interruption (That Pays You Back)
Good to see you here.
No prompts this week.
No exercises.
No “set aside time.”
This one happens while you’re already working.
As you move through your day — emails, reports, decisions on autopilot — just notice.
Not judge.
Not optimize.
Just notice.
The moment that caught me
For years, I believed I had to type:
Sincerely, Jennifer
Every. Single. Email.
Somewhere in my head, those two words meant care. Professionalism. Respect.
Like if I skipped them, I was cutting a corner as a human.
Seems silly now.
At the time, it mattered.
Now imagine:
-
How many emails a day
-
Then a week
-
Then a year
All that time. All those keystrokes. For something that wasn’t actually doing the work I thought it was.
So I changed it.
Automated it.
Moved on.
That wasn’t efficiency.
It was permission.
Your version will look different
Maybe it’s:
-
Re-creating a report instead of letting the system do its job
-
Re-writing the same explanation instead of templating it
-
One extra step you take because “that’s how it’s always been done”
Tiny change.
Real relief.
You don’t need to fix your system today.
Just catch one repetitive thing you automatically over-do.
Change it.
Even slightly.
Then do the most important part
Pat yourself on the back.
Seriously.
These are the changes that compound — not because they save time, but because they return authority.
Then get back to work.
That’s it for this week.

Small interruptions.
Less drag.
More room to think.
