Mind & self · A BOOK PROPOSAL

Your Attention Has Office Hours

Building a day that does not belong to every interruption

This proposed book would examine attention as a limited capacity shaped by environments, expectations, and other people. It would move from the mechanics of interruption to the social challenge of becoming less instantly available. Readers would explore practical experiments with response windows, task boundaries, shared agreements, and protected periods for difficult work. The approach would accommodate caregiving, service roles, and unpredictable schedules, asking which interruptions matter and which have merely become habits that nobody has questioned.

Inside the proposed edition

2. Which work needs an uninterrupted stretch?
3. Response windows people can understand
