Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
In this episode of host Bidemi Ologunde'slatest podcast, The Work Ethic Podcast, he explores how to protect deep work in a notification world, without falling into hustle culture. Why does it feel like you can't stay focused for more than a few minutes? What are notifications really costing you in quality, confidence, and calm? And what simple systems can you build to create sustainable excellence—whether you're an ambitious professional, a founder/creator, a student launching your career, or a leader managing others?
You'll hear practical strategies for reclaiming your attention (without disappearing from your team), plus real-life stories of people who reduced digital noise and unlocked better output with less stress.
Weekly Challenge: For the next 7 days, schedule one daily deep-work session (start with 30 minutes), turn off all notifications, and focus on a single important task. Track what changes—your output, your mood, and your ability to re-focus.
