I've been thinking about something that doesn't get discussed enough.

Most conversations about productivity focus on avoiding distractions.

But I think the real cost isn't the distraction itself.

It's losing the mental context of what you were building before the interruption.

Every notification forces your brain to reconstruct that context, and I wonder if that's where most of the productivity loss actually happens.

I'm curious:

Has anyone here found a good way to recover their mental context after interruptions?

I'm interested in systems, not just blockers or Pomodoro timers.
