Every time you open your laptop, it feels like work is being done. You check your email, skim your calendar, reply to a Slack message, and before you know it—it’s noon. But the real project? Still untouched.
This is the silent threat: productive distraction disguised as progress.
Most creators blame burnout on long hours. But the real culprit is decision fatigue. Too many micro-decisions throughout the day leave you drained for the work that truly matters.
Focus isn’t about doing more. It’s about protecting your best energy from being stolen by the small.
Try this: every 90 minutes, set a 3-minute reset window. During that time, breathe, reflect, and realign your energy. Studies show this simple shift increases cognitive focus by up to 40%.
