Every time you switch tasks, you pay a recovery tax — between 10 and 25 minutes of degraded cognition while your brain reloads the previous context. This cost is invisible because you feel busy the entire time.
Every context switch depletes energy — batch similar tasks to conserve it.
Schedule transition time between different types of work to reduce context-switching costs.
Group similar small tasks together and process them in one dedicated block, so that setup costs are paid once instead of once per task.
Produce multiple outputs in one focused session rather than one at a time.
Working and relaxing in the same space creates role confusion.
Decision-making information processing energy management and context switching.
