Episode notes
The human brain needs time to switch its target of attention from one task to another, involving inhibition and excitation of different neural networks. It typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes for the brain to load up the right programs and fully switch its attention frame to a new task. Constantly switching between tasks, like checking and responding to emails, can be cognitively distressing as it prevents the brain from settling on an attention frame and loading the necessary cognitive context, causing a mismatch.
