Summary
We pride ourselves on multitasking. But the research on this is unambiguous: what we call multitasking is actually task-switching. And we do everything worse when our attention is divided. In this episode I make the case for the radical, countercultural act of doing one thing at a time. Not as a productivity strategy but as a quality-of-life one. Because when your attention is split, you are never fully anywhere. You are doing everything halfway. Food tastes different when you are not also reading something. A conversation goes somewhere real when you are not half-checking your phone. Work that felt resistant opens up when you give it your full attention. Single-tasking is not slower. It just feels that way at first. What it actually produces is a better experience of being alive. And that is the whole point. Want to keep going?
