Exploring Distraction as a Virus Symptoms and Quarantine Tips

Lately, I’ve been fascinated by how distraction spreads almost like an infection grabbing our focus and derailing productivity before we even notice. If it were a virus, what would the symptoms look like? Constant tab-switching, half-finished tasks, or that nagging urge to check notifications every few minutes?

I’m curious how others “quarantine” distraction in their daily routines. Do you use tech boundaries, like app blockers, or something more analog, like timed focus sessions? Working in background checks, I’ve seen how small habits can snowball into bigger patterns, so I’d love to hear what’s worked for you. Especially from anyone in VR or medical research how do you stay locked in when your fields demand deep focus?
