Episode notes

Multitasking undermines memory, cognition, and productivity, while also compromising the prefrontal cortex necessary for solving complex problems. To counter these effects, embrace monotasking—focusing on one task at a time. Implementing time blocking can effectively facilitate this approach. Allocate a few minutes to each task, interspersed with short breaks. During these breaks, engage in activities like walking, stretching, or breathing exercises instead of mindless scrolling to maintain presence and boost cognitive function. This structured method allows for progress on multiple tasks while protecting mental clarity.
