too frequent to count Apr 28, 2023

Constant connectedness and productivity are clearly at odds.
I try to mute all devices for 45 minutes at a time, otherwise the interruptions are too frequent to count.
Even with such a short mute time, I sometimes lose jobs because an hour passes between when the message was sent and when I respond.
One of the many paradoxes of modern day translation.
