Inter Block Transition Buffer
An inter block transition buffer separates unlike tasks with five to ten minutes—cutting attention residue between deep work and calls or family.
An inter block transition buffer is five to ten minutes between unlike calendar tasks—deep work to parenting pickup, lift to video call—so context-switch residue does not bleed. Use the buffer to write one-line handoff notes and close apps.
Without it, attention residue from task A degrades task B quality. Stand up during the buffer when possible.
Ohga sees transition buffers help when users log focus crashes on back-to-back unlike blocks without gaps. Write the next task's first sentence in the buffer to restart faster.
Common questions
-
Can transition buffers be used for email?
No—that trains inbox as default between tasks. Use buffers for closure notes, movement, or breath; email belongs in shallow batches only.
