Many (many) years ago I remember being able to focus on a programming tasks for 3-4 hours continuously.
Nowadays, I feel lucky if I can focus for more than 20 minutes. Email pop-ups , messages , “urgent” , “urgent”, but are these really urgent. When did we become “always available”, “always responsive”.
Need to:
1) Find a better way filter the emails I handle/respond to during the day
2) Educate my colleagues not to “shoot emails” ,be clear and concise
