Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The little stuff — email, messages, quick admin pings — keeps chopping my day into fragments, so I never get one clean stretch to sink into the real work before the next ding pulls me out again.
• Every time my inbox pings I drop what I’m doing to check it, and even when nothing’s there I keep glancing
• My email pings me all day for messages that could’ve waited until tomorrow, and every single buzz yanks me out of whatever I was doing
• My inbox sits there like a pile of unfinished business I’m always half-monitoring, and the low hum of "what’s waiting in there" never really lets up no matter how much I clear.
• My inbox is open all day and I refresh it every few minutes out of reflex, half my brain always braced for the next message
