Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes 🌴196. Signal vs Noise
Hey friends! In today’s episode of Leanne on Demand, I’m diving into a concept that helped me have one of my most productive (and weirdly peaceful) mornings in a while: Signal vs Noise.
Yesterday, I mapped out my top 3 priorities. Today, I smashed out one of the big ones—a client proposal—and stayed laser-focused on designing two workshops. But here’s the twist: I didn’t check email obsessively, didn’t scroll LinkedIn, didn’t even look at my WhatsApp messages. Why? Because none of that was signal. It was noise.
You’ll hear:
- What “signal vs noise” actually means (and where the metaphor comes from)
- Why creative work like workshop design isn’t just about being at a desk
- My take on why responding fast ≠being productive
- How to protect your “decision fuel” and avoid mental fatigue
- A challenge to help you figure out your signal for tomorrow
This is a quick, reflective episode—but I hope it gives you a powerful filter to use when everything feels urgent.
🎯 Mentioned:
- My daily non-negotiables (podcast + movement!)
- The joy of finishing one high-impact task early in the day
Let me know if this concept resonates—or if you’ve used it yourself lately! Catch you tomorrow.
