The Myth of Multitasking

This was written in 2008, but the truths within are even more pertinent to today. So. Much. More. It’s a longer read, but it’s full of gold like this excerpt.

When we talk about multitasking, we are really talking about attention: the art of paying attention, the ability to shift our attention, and, more broadly, to exercise judgment about what objects are worthy of our attention. People who have achieved great things often credit for their success a finely honed skill for paying attention.

I give this piece a read from time to time, when I need to be reminded about being intentional with my time and focus.
