 I'd like to invite to to take on this practice of doing focused containers. I think they're an excellent way to give ourselves permission to focus on one thing at a time without the need or worry for what will get accomplished during that container. It limits us to focus on one thing at a time and do it to the best of our abilities.  The limitation of working on one thing at a time without thinking about the other bits of work that we have to do can be liberating and I hope that you will at least get a sense of what fully-focused work can feel like.
 
+This whole book was created and edited using focus containers. I took about 10 minutes each span to write the initial draft, and later I took additional 10 minute containers to edit the book. Sometimes they bled over into 15 minutes but that was because I was so engaged with the material that I didn't want to stop. This was in sharp contrast with how I've normally written things, which require me to get over the initial hurdle of allocating a half-hour or so to writing. With this I think to myself "I can just take 10 minutes to work on this" and gradually I see the progress unfold with each container.
