The key to this was to learn how to get back ‘In The Zone’ in the shortest time possible" 1. Embrace interruptions 2. Maintain context outside of your head at all times. a. Maintain a running commentary on your current task. b. Ruthlessly ignore tangential issues. c. Always know what you're doing next. 3. Prioritize negatively ("what doesn't need to be done") 4. Recognize the benefit of breaks. - Fred Yankowski
