Most people try to do it all, believing multitasking is a skill. Science shows the opposite. Each switch between tasks costs energy, focus and clarity. Hours vanish without meaningful results.
You can change this. It starts small. Twenty minutes of undisturbed attention, a dedicated space, saying no to some requests and limiting notifications. These are not lofty ideals, they are practical, down to earth strategies that work.
