Multitasking is an illusion.

You’re not performing multiple tasks at once, you’re task-switching.

Quickly switching focus between multiple things creates the illusion that we’re doing multiple things simultaneously.

It may feel like we are getting more done, but in a state of chronic
task-switching, we lose the ability to direct our attention to a single thing.

We lose energy.

The ability to maintain singular focus.

And this ability is the essence of mindfulness & meditation, which is more
valuable than any amount of productivity.
