Finding deep work in a noisy day

Running products means interruptions are part of the job. I can't switch them off, so I schedule around them instead of pretending they don't exist.

I protect one block each day, usually early, for the work that needs real thought. Notifications off, one task written on a sticky note, and a rule that nothing else gets opened.

Even ninety focused minutes beats a scattered day. The rest of the hours can be reactive; that block can't.
