THE COST OF DISTRACTION
How Attention Leaks Quietly Destroy Entrepreneurial Growth
You don't have a productivity problem.
You have attention leaks.
Tiny, almost invisible habits that quietly siphon away your time, energy, creativity, profits, and opportunities—often without you realizing it.
They don't look dangerous.
They look like checking one notification.
Opening another browser tab.
Researching "just one more thing."
Starting another brilliant idea before finishing the last one.
Answering emails instead of building your business.
Staying busy while convincing yourself you're making progress.
The invoice never arrives.
The cost shows up somewhere else.
A delayed launch.
A missed opportunity.
Another unfinished project.
Another year wondering why your business isn't where you expected it to be.
In The Cost of Distraction, behavioral observer Helen Dash examines the hidden psychological patterns behind entrepreneurial self-sabotage and reveals why so many capable people mistake constant activity for meaningful progress.
Blending behavioral psychology, practical strategy, razor-sharp observation, and her signature dark humor, Helen exposes the everyday habits quietly draining businesses from the inside out—and shows readers how to recognize them before they become expensive.
