Have you heard of the pomodoro technique? Basically its a system where you focus for 25 minutes, have a short break then focus for another 25. We use it at work for helping the kids to focus (although in shorter time spans) and to help them with transitioning from one activity to the next.
I was thinking that might help with the ‘not realising you’re doing 14 things at once’ if you set the timer to say 10 minutes and then have an alarm to ‘wake you up’ (wrong phrase) if you’re doing too many things at once.
