Context switching is expensive. Moving from one type of work to another requires mental reset. The brain must disengage from one context and load another. This takes time, often more than we realize.
Studies suggest it takes several minutes to fully re-engage after an interruption. If you switch constantly, you may never reach full engagement at all. You spend the day in shallow attention.
Batch similar work together. Handle all emails in one session. Make all calls in one block. Do all creative work in dedicated time. This batching reduces the switching tax.
