What specific activity is suggested as a way to practice building longer 'focus blocks' needed for asynchronous remote roles, simulating uninterrupted work?

Timing oneself on a complex, self-directed project and dedicating two hours to uninterrupted work before checking communications

To help job seekers assess their readiness for truly independent remote work, the text suggests a specific self-assessment exercise involving complex, self-directed projects. The goal of this simulation is to overcome the habit of frequently checking email for validation or waiting for immediate answers before proceeding. The suggested method involves dedicating uninterrupted 'focus blocks,' perhaps two hours long, to a single task before checking communications again. This practice directly simulates the focused environment required by many asynchronous remote positions where sustained concentration is necessary.
