The side-screen weather

A weather tab keeps pulling attention away from a paragraph.

A weather tab keeps pulling attention away from a paragraph.

Attention has a context. A useful boundary describes what belongs in this moment and how you will return to what you set aside. A boundary can be small and temporary; it need not become a rule for every day.

Check the forecast once and close the tab until the paragraph is done.

Try the change once before turning it into a permanent routine. Keep the part that helps and revise the part that does not.
