Ever finish a workday feeling exhausted, despite not making meaningful progress on the things that matter most?

The problem might not be your workload.

In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess explores the concept of attention residue - a phenomenon identified by researcher Sophie Leroy that explains why constantly switching between emails, meetings, messages, and projects can leave us feeling mentally drained and less effective.

Drawing on both research and personal experience, Jess unpacks:

• What attention residue is and why it matters
• Why multitasking often feels productive but isn't
• How task switching impacts energy, focus, decision-making, and wellbeing
• The connection between attention management and leadership effectiveness
• Why deep thinking requires uninterrupted space
• Practical strategies to reduce mental fatigue and improve focus.

Whether you're a leader, business owner, professional, or simply someone feeling overwhelmed by competing demands, this episode offers a powerful reminder that managing your attention may be more important than managing your time.
