  • Time-boxed: It’s hard to accidentally waste an hour making a cup or tea or walking in a short loop, like you could if you played Candy Crush or watched YouTube for “a few minutes”.
  • Reset: A proper buffer should help you detach from the thing you finished so you can start fresh on the next thing. It’s the ginger between your productivity sushi.
