I’m realizing that interruptions don’t just “break focus” for me. They completely reset my thinking.

If I get pulled into a meeting, Slack message, or quick question, when I come back I have to:

  • reread what I was doing
  • remember why I was doing it
  • reconstruct what the next step even was

That alone can take 15–30 minutes, and it happens multiple times a day.

Task lists and calendar blocking help with planning, but they don’t really help with “where was I mentally?”

Am wondering:

  • Does this happen to you?
  • Do you have any way of getting back into work faster after interruptions?
  • Or do you just accept this as part of modern work?
