Conversations with researchers, practitioners, and thinkers about the science and art of better transitions.
Dr. Cal Newport joins us to discuss how always-on communication tools fragment attention and create invisible transition costs. We explore strategies for async-first work without losing responsiveness.
A deep dive into Sophie Leroy's groundbreaking research on attention residue. What it is, why it matters, and practical interventions that actually work in real workplace contexts.
Rachel Andersen, Managing Partner at a strategy consultancy, shares how her firm redesigned their entire workflow around transition quality — and the remarkable results that followed.
Neuroscientist Dr. Amishi Jha explains what happens in the brain during task transitions, why they're cognitively expensive, and how mindfulness practices can improve switching quality.
When physical location can't mark transitions, what can? We explore strategies distributed teams use to create boundaries, manage async work, and maintain focus across time zones.
Why do some practices stick while others fade? We unpack the psychological difference between rituals and routines, and how to design transition practices that last.
