The issue isn’t that people aren’t working hard—it’s that their focus is constantly breaking.
One small interruption doesn’t seem like much.

High performers don’t just work harder—they protect focus.
Because effort isn’t the bottleneck.
It’s broken attention cycles.
If output isn’t matching effort, this is the missing piece.
