Steve D Valentine describes surviving 30 days without responding to anyone and reflects on how digital interruptions lengthened simple tasks. He recommends blocking focused work sessions (three, two, or one hour blocks), prioritizing single tasks for short concentrated periods (e.g., 30 minutes), and recording yourself while working (set a camera) to see how often you’re distracted. He uses an anecdote of a 30-minute task stretching to three hours because of texts/calls.

I survived 30 days without responding to anybody. It was not easy. But giving yourself three hours, two hours, one hour to work on a project uninterrupted. I washed myself yesterday. I'm like, text pickup, distraction. Where was I? Back distraction, text staff. The one project that should have taken me 30 minutes was, like, three hours. And the reality is, if I just focused on that for 30 minutes and then return the calls, the text messages, and things, that would have been done a long time ago. So best thing for you guys to do, watch. Set a camera up while you're working and watch how many times you're distracted.
