The Uffizi punishes completionism. Curate your attention.

Before Entry

Reserve early slot.
Choose 8-12 anchor works.
Build a two-pass route (anchors first, curiosity second).

Focus Budget

Time block	Attention style
0-20 min	Orientation
20-80 min	Core anchors
80-100 min	Recovery
100-140 min	Selective depth

Anti-Burnout Rules

Do not read every label.
Skip peak crowd rooms and return later.
Sit every 60-75 minutes.

2-hour emergency version

If you are compressed, do one strong thematic cluster and exit while still attentive.

Attention is finite. Spend it where memory value is highest.

Bottom line

At Uffizi, quality of seeing beats quantity of seeing.
