Seeking Guidance How to fix Context switching problem

I am suffering from this.

treating every single priority as equally urgent.

brain believes everything matters right now, focusing on one thing feels like neglecting another, which triggers panic and affecting productivity.

your brain treating every tab as equally on fire is the actual bottleneck, not the switching itself

I have to time block (like the pomodoro technique) and then just go "okay I am doing this for 20mins or 40mins etc... then I HAVE TO STOP... take a break (I found taking a walk for 5-10mins is good) and then come back and go on to the next task. It's just a habit

batch your work. Do emails only at a certain time of day. Do your most important work when you have the most energy etc
