Almost all discussions on deep work and flow, end in some version of "we should minimise context switching". I am wondering if in addition to designing our work to minimise context switches, we should also develop techniques (or solutions) to help recover from a context switch.
Are there any techniques or solutions you use to help recover from a context switch or get back to flow after a break?
I have no training in neuroscience and my layman analysis tells me this is essentially a problem of reclaiming the working memory or to put simply, it is a ~10 word answer to "what was I doing".
Thoughts?
