Hi Andrea Csilla,
Last week, we explored Dan's journey from overwhelmed business owner to productivity-focused leader. This week, I want to share a universal insight that affects all professionals - whether you're leading a team or mastering your own workflow.
The Science of Interrupted Focus
While working with Dan's team, we discovered a critical pattern:
- Average employee loses 2.1 hours daily to interruptions
- It takes 20-25 minutes to refocus after each disruption
- 80% of "urgent" interruptions weren't truly urgent
This isn't just about business efficiency - it's about cognitive protection. Your brain's ability to enter "deep work" states directly impacts:
- Learning retention
- Creative problem-solving
- Technical skill mastery
- Emotional resilience
Try This Today:
- Track interruptions for 3 days
-
Calculate your daily "cognitive tax" using this formula:
3. Share the result with your team/client using this script:
"When I'm interrupted during deep work, it costs us [X hours] of quality output weekly. Can we brainstorm ways to protect our collective focus?"
Want personalized strategies to implement this in your unique workflow? That's exactly what I explore in my mentoring program.

Andrea
