Time and Attention

NOTE

Maximize Focus Within Your Limits

Recognize the finite capacity for productivity each day, typically around four hours of focused work, which can vary based on personal engagement and interest in the task. Pursuing work that is meaningful and enjoyable can extend focus duration. It’s essential to define a realistic container for daily work, usually six to eight hours, and prioritize tasks to maintain focus rather than feeling overwhelmed by busyness. Delegate administrative tasks when possible to free time for meaningful work. Regularly assess your workload to avoid excessive busy work and ensure a balanced approach to productivity.
