Down with multi, up with mono…tasking.
As a near-millennial (born in ‘86), I grew up with the understanding that multitasking was key to improving productivity.
This trait, of course, was empowered by the explosive growth and adoption of the internet. Faced with the unlikely task of quelling the constant stream of digital stimulus, the thinking was that it’d be best to learn and grow our ability to multitask. As it turns out, for most of us, multitasking simply doesn’t work.
