Had a really productive morning focusing on the API redesign. The time blocking strategy from last week is definitely helping. Felt a bit drained after the long meeting at 2pm though— need to remember to take breaks between deep work and meetings.
Struggled with focus today. Too many context switches between projects. Need to talk to the team about batching similar work together...
