You can add some more if you don’t want to be zapped during a focus mode. Right now, this only works if you don’t usually have a focus mode on during the day.
Instead of step 8 above, add this sequence to the shortcut:
Get Current Focus.
If Current Focus does not have any value
Trigger N% Zap
Otherwise [blank]
End If.
