Track your screen time honestly for one week and you will find somewhere between 15 and 25 hours of fragmentary, low-value attention spend. Not leisure, leisure is fine, but the gray zone of half-work: refreshing dashboards, skimming messages, consuming content you won't remember by Friday.

The cost isn't just the hours. Attention residue, the cognitive drag that lingers after each context switch, means a day of fragmented focus produces a fraction of the output of three protected hours. You are not tired because you worked too much. You are tired because you switched too much.
