Uninterrupted focus has become a rarity in today’s hyper-connected world. As I shared, "Uninterrupted focus doesn’t exist anymore. Even if you use DND, block your calendar, or escape to a remote island, the moment you turn your phone back on, you’re hit with a mountain of anxiety. The only way to truly escape is to get rid of all your devices and shut out the outside world—but let’s face it, that’s unrealistic today."
This reality highlights the importance of redefining focus rather than pursuing an unattainable ideal. Instead of striving for total isolation, business leaders can implement strategies that prioritize intentional breaks and manageable workloads. For example, working in focused intervals, such as the Pomodoro technique, can help maintain productivity while allowing time to address the inevitable digital influx. Leaders should also set clear expectations with their teams about availability, encouraging a culture that respects boundaries and minimizes unnecessary interruptions.
