Sidenote: Microsoft say the average worker gets 153 teams messages a day. That's one every 3 minutes or so (although not really as they come in batches usually).
Still, without boundaries you might not even get a single minute of real focus in a day.

So if you get a message every half hour, you only manage 2 hours of real focus in a 8-hour work day.

*If you're a good writer, it might just be a warm up sentence.

Give it a go!
