Focus isn’t lost in big crashes
It leaks out in 30 second pivots
Every tab swap
Every notification
Every quick check
Costs you momentum you never get back
The truth:
Multitasking is rework with better branding
Every switch resets your brain and slows your next move
Shallow tasks expand to fill any space you give them
I used to bounce between inbox, chat, and builds all day
Felt busy and shipped little
The change was simple
Two modes only build or respond
Build in protected blocks
Respond in short windows
Output jumped because the gear shifts disappeared
Run the anti switch plan:
Pick one mission for the next 90 minutes and write the first action on a sticky note
Full screen the work file and keep only one browser window open
Phone in another room and watch pings go silent
Batch communication at set times 11 and 4 works for most
Park random ideas in a capture doc so they stop hijacking your attention
Use a visible timer and do not stop until it hits zero
Close each block with a 3 line log what moved, what blocked, what’s next
Guardrails that help:
Default off notifications everywhere
Auto decline meetings without an agenda
Keep a small done list to prove the day is working
You don’t need more hours
You need fewer pivots
What single mission will you lock for the next 90 minutes
Cut the fluff. Kill the switches.
