summary

Argues that multitasking makes time‑to‑market 2–3× slower even for a perfect context‑switcher, and shows fixes that actually work: protect one Scrum team, ban overtime, and introduce 1–3 Slack days per week so hyperfocus happens (result: a 70‑page article written in three days, books and viral videos produced, faster, calmer teams). Demonstrates with a Lego brick flow demo that pull over push keeps cycle time low while avoiding 100% utilization and wasted busywork.
