Attention leaks: why your day disappears

The biggest drains aren’t always the obvious ones. They’re the tiny switches that add up.

Most people don’t lose time in one dramatic decision. They lose it in micro-transitions: one quick check, one extra scroll, one more tab. Today Matters helps you see those leaks clearly so you can protect what you care about.

Common leaks

  • “Just checking” messages between tasks
  • Phone in hand during transitions
  • Unplanned “quick” errands that sprawl
  • Over-scheduling without buffer

One fix that works

Add a 10-minute “transition block” between key parts of your day. It prevents cascading delays and lowers the urge to fill every gap with screens.
