You're losing 3.4 hours daily.
Not to procrastination. To task-switching.
Research: Every task switch loses 23 minutes to refocus.
Your typical day:
→ Check emails (switch)
→ Client call (switch)
→ Write content (switch)
→ Check Slack (switch)
→ Sales outreach (switch)
→ Check emails again (switch)
8 major switches × 23 minutes = 184 minutes lost daily
Over a year: 850 hours = 21 full work weeks
Disappeared.
The fix: Batch similar tasks.
Monday: All meetings
Tuesday: All creative work
Wednesday: All strategic thinking
Thursday: All sales
Friday: All admin
Same work. Different sequence. Massive time savings.
You don't need more hours.
You need to protect the hours you have.
How many times do you switch tasks daily?
