Blocks versus fragments
We separate blocks (30 minutes or longer without task switching) from fragments (brief pauses between meetings). Readers can adopt either label; we use them to discuss scheduling mechanics.
Reference page
Rest as a design constraint, not a prize
These notes describe how we talk about downtime in client workshops. They are descriptive, voluntary reading. Nothing here diagnoses fatigue or prescribes sleep.
Publishing date context: . Language may evolve; the informational scope does not.
Environmental cues
Dimming screens, closing laptops, or leaving a room are behavioral signals. We describe them as choices, not requirements.
Signal clarity
If you log how you spent an evening, we encourage neutral words. Emotional labels belong to you, not to our templates.
