The Best Way to Deploy Your Human Brains Is Sequentially

We have an instinct towards action, just like we have an instinct about hunger. We want to be doing meaningful activity almost all the time. But if we put on our plate more things than we can easily imagine getting done, we overload that system. That is the cognitive equivalent of eating all the junk food. It is taking a drive we have and subverting it. And so what is the most human pace of action or productivity is probably exactly what you're talking about.
