You know those days when you sit down to work, get up, sit back down, answer something in Slack, approve something else, come back to your desk…
And now you have absolutely no idea what you were supposed to be doing?
None of those things took very long… and that’s the annoying part.
Two minutes here. Five minutes there. A “quick question” that actually was quick. But every time you stop, your brain has to figure out where the hell it was before you got distracted by something else.
Now it’s lunchtime and you feel like you’ve been so busy... and you have! Just not on the things you wanted, or needed, to actually be doing.
You haven’t had enough time to make any real progress because your whole morning was taken up by a quick thing here and another quick thing there.
When all of the little things still come to you, that’s what the entire day feels like. Get up. Sit down. Handle something else. Try to remember what the hell you were doing. Repeat.You know those days when you sit down to work, get up, sit back down, answer something in Slack, approve something else, come back to your desk…
