Choose a piece of work that fits the time available. A block is useful as a boundary: it tells you what you intend to do and what can wait. The suggested length is only a calendar default; it is not a biological attention limit.
Try it
- Name a visible output, such as an outline or a checked paragraph.
- Choose a length and tell people how to reach you for something urgent.
- At the end, save your work and leave a note about the next step.
What to notice
Compare the planned output with what you completed. If interruptions were necessary, account for them when planning another block.
