RECIPE FOR CONTEXT-SWITCHING Ingredients: 1 overcast sky, unbroken 3 browser tabs you meant to close yesterday 1 lunch you double-booked on purpose (you won't admit this) A fistful of hours, loosely packed 1 device, uncharged, left on the nightstand like a promise you made to a version of yourself who had more mornings Method: Combine the sky with the emails until homogeneous. Fold in the lunch gently — do not overmix. The conversation will rise on its own. When the colour changes from grey to something you don't have a name for, remove from heat. Let the device rest. It was never measuring what mattered. Yield: one Thursday. Serving size: exactly one life. Chef's note: The diagonal slash of yellow that changes everything — you can't add it. It adds itself.
