I also communicate this to people I work with since I'm not always in full ownership of what needs to get done. I am highly capable of deeply working on several wildly different things per day but if I get pulled around too much, sometimes for great reasons, then I can't maintain the energy for as long as I would if I fully owned my work. I think it's a compromise I have reluctantly (yet happily) made: sometimes allowing this to happen and being individually less productive in order to remove bottlenecks for the org.

My biggest issue is when I use 100% of that context-switching capacity at work and then have little to give after work. It's cyclical that I do this well, then poorly, then well again. But it does feel like I'm doing this significantly better than I was 3-5 years ago.
