Eric Jacobs: I’m struggling to apply time blocking in a reactive support role where emergencies constantly derail my schedule. How do I minimize reactiveness without failing the people who need me immediately?

• Separate tasks into “okay to be interrupted” work versus deep creative work that requires real focus and creative flow.
• Have a distinction between distractions and interruptions. Eliminate distractions completely and create one dedicated channel for true interruptions that actually require immediate action.
• Your nervous system was never designed for nonstop digital urgency, so managing inputs is now part of managing your energy.
