In a remote environment, your calendar is a battlefield. Every time you accept a "quick 5-minute sync" that could have been a bulleted Slack message, you’re paying a context-switching tax that drains 40% of your cognitive bandwidth. You don't have a 5-minute problem; you have a deep work problem.
Protect your focus like it’s your paycheck—because it is. Use "Busy" status for what it was intended for: actually being busy. If someone asks for a quick chat, ask for an agenda first. Usually, the "chat" evaporates once they have to actually write down what they want. It’s not being rude; it’s being a professional who values their output. Stay focused, or stay at your desk until 8pm.
Your choice.
