Example

Raj was tired of feeling scattered. He’d bounce between emails, errands, and Slack pings and end each day wondering what he’d actually accomplished. He read about task batching and gave it a shot: mornings for deep work, afternoons for admin. It took discipline, especially ignoring Slack until noon, but within a couple weeks he was getting more done in less time. More importantly, he felt less fried at the end of the day.
