I don't doubt the cost of context switching. However I also think there's noticeable value in time-boxing. If I split my day into 3 chunks of two hours, with each block allotted to one task/project, I end the day with a feeling of having made more progress, and I do, because I sense the limited time, and therefore execute more efficiently.

Wow! That's crazy. I wonder exactly how that went down.

Likely the most likely

And it doesn't talk back.

Oh how I don't miss working in an office. Avoiding work, overthinking things, and overbuilding.

It definitely looks easier than it is. You have to want it.
