The Hidden Price of 'Just A Minute'
When a quick check or small detour pulls you away, tally the real time cost. Use a simple timer or mental note to track how often a "brief" interruption extends to 5, 10, or 20 minutes. Note the task you intended to do and the one you actually did. This awareness reveals leakage points in your day.
