Daily Focus – Day 36: Batch the Small Requests
Part of Daily Focus: 365 Practical Notes for Solo and Small Business Owners.

Try this today: Choose one or two times to handle small responses instead of interrupting work all day.
Keep in mind: Small interruptions become expensive when they repeatedly divide attention.
