Multitasking feels productive, but it’s secretly draining your energy and slowing progress. Switching between tasks forces your brain to constantly refocus, wasting precious time.

Studies show multitasking can reduce productivity by up to 40%. Instead of excelling at one thing, you end up doing several things poorly.

The fix? Single-tasking. Focus deeply on one task at a time. You’ll work faster, make fewer mistakes, and feel less stressed.

Try this:

1. Set a timer for 25 minutes and focus on one task (use the Pomodoro technique).
2. Silence notifications and minimize distractions.
3. Take short breaks between tasks to reset.

Your brain thrives on focus. Ditch the juggling act and watch your productivity soar.
