Lately, I’ve noticed some weird productivity roadblocks that I didn’t expect. Between crunching numbers for forensic cases and blogging about niche topics like nanotechnology, my workflow feels like it’s constantly shifting gears. One minute I’m deep in spreadsheets, the next I’m trying to explain quantum dots in a way that doesn’t put readers to sleep.
Has anyone else juggled two totally different kinds of work? How do you handle the mental whiplash? And does anyone have tips for staying sharp when your brain keeps flipping between analytical and creative modes? I’d love to hear what’s worked for others.
