The issue isn’t that people aren’t working hard—it’s that their focus is constantly breaking.
A quick ping, message, or email feels harmless.
Yet every interruption resets mental flow.
Execution becomes inconsistent.
Multiply this daily, and performance erodes faster than you think.
High here performers don’t just work harder—they protect focus.
Because the real enemy isn’t workload.
It’s broken attention cycles.
If output isn’t matching effort, this is the missing piece.
