Right now, the pressure is on. I’m sparing you the details of my to-do list. At times that pressure helps to focus, but at other moments it feels overwhelming. My trick for focusing is to turn off all notifications: Email, Slack, Twitter, Instagram. I let my boss know that I’m offline and give him one way to reach me in case of urgency. But then there is my phone, which I can not turn off. As a sole caregiver, it needs to be on during school hours. In fact, it is on 24/7, but that is another story.
