I have to task switch _a lot_ in my job. My day consists of writing code, supporting content creators with their tools issues (which often leads to switching to a different piece of code to fix a blocker), and supporting my team as they work on their tasks. Often I don't have the luxury of choosing when to switch tasks, but when I do or when I'm being hit with a ton of things at once it helps to take a short coffee break, re-prioritise things in your mind (or on paper via a list), and then get back to it.
Days when I can just work on one thing without interruptions are extremely appreciated but so rare. When I do have the luxury of finishing a big task that took several days and not being immediately pulled away by someone else to another task I take advantage of the downtime and maybe try to go home early, do some reading, or have a longer "fika" with a coworker.
