Hello Coaching Partners,
I have been researching the science about work and this is what I found:
Here’s something wild: the 8-hour workday was designed in 1926 for factory workers. And yet, here we are, still pretending we’re machines.
But science says otherwise:
Our brains run in 90–120 minute cycles
We get about 3–4 hours of deep, focused work a day
We switch tasks every 3 minutes (yes, really)
After an interruption? It takes 23 minutes to refocus
So if you feel scattered or unproductive trust me it’s not you. It’s the system.
Here’s the real question:
As a knowledge-based leader in 2025, are you leading yourself and others like it’s 1926?
This is the kind of insight I bring to coaching. Real data, honest reflection, and strategies that actually fit how we live and work today.
Want to talk about what this means for your leadership, your team, or your next move?
