“Multitasking is a lie”
― Gary Keller, The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results

“Fucking two things up at the same time isn`t multitasking”
― Dick Masterson, Men Are Better Than Women

“When we think we're multitasking we're actually multiswitching. That is what the brain is very good at doing - quickly diverting its attention from one place to the next. We think we're being productive. We are, indeed, being busy. But in reality we're simply giving ourselves extra work.”
― Michael Harris

“The average office worker now spends 40 percent of their work time wrongly believing they are "multitasking"--which means they are incurring all these costs for their attention and focus. In fact, uninterrupted time is becoming rare. One study found that most of us working in offices never get a whole hour uninterrupted in a normal day.”
― Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attentionâ€� and How to Think Deeply Again

“Juggling is an illusion. ... In reality, the balls are being independently caught and thrown in rapid succession. ... It is actually task switching.”
― Gary Keller, The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results

“I want to lengthen, not shorten, my attention span, and most of the material splendors of the twenty-first century bully me in the opposite direction. The fault is mine, I'll admit. I'm too slow-witted, reluctant to evolve, constitutionally unable to get with the program. I can't afford the newest gadgets and I'm not a natural multitasker.”
― Phillip Connors

“El multitasking no es una habilidad para la cual esté capacitado únicamente el ser humano tardomoderno de la sociedad del trabajo y la información. Se trata más bien de una regresión. En efecto, el multitasking está ampliamente extendido entre los animales salvajes. Es una técnica de atención imprescindible para la supervivencia en la selva.”
― Byung-Chul Han, Müdigkeitsgesellschaft, Burnoutgesellschaft, Hoch-Zeit

“Now, more than ever, I believe that the antidote to our ever-expanding to-do lists, the distractions of modern life, and the fragmentation of our attention is to do one thing at a time. Once we realize that we are the ones who control our own attention, we can choose where to apply it.”
― Thatcher Wine, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

“Many of us go through our days attending to multiple stimuli simultaneously without giving any one thing our full and complete attention. We eat while watching TV and check our email while in the presence of our families. We think about our problems in the middle of a conversation or during an otherwise positive experience. We talk on the phone while driving and choose to distract ourselves from everyday tasks rather than attending to them. We escape the small moments rather than recognizing life is the small moments.”
― Lane Pederson, The Expanded Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training Manual: DBT for Self-Help and Individual & Group Treatment Settings

“A computer only specializing in counting, will forever stay a calculator - wasting its potential of becoming the complex system incorporating it.”
― Milena Chmielik

“There’s no multitasking with the moment.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“Listen, there are other things in life besides the day-to-day, all of this is great but really, it's going nowhere... It seems like I don't have time to do anything. I'm stuck... I do a million things and nothing comes out...”
― Dominique Goblet, Pretending Is Lying

“One of the reasons it is especially tempting to multitask while thinking is because no one can see you thinking. You do it in your brain, and so it’s your own little secret that you are thinking while doing something else.”
― Thatcher Wine, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

“Our mind cannot be freed into the present moment while we are caged by the illusion of multitasking.”

― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“Technological fruits such as audiobooks are food for the illusion that we can really do more than one thing at the same time.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“I bet some of you are thinking, Who has time to Pause? There’s too much to do! Have you seen my to-do list? I have—and I know it well. I’m a recovering multitasker and overachiever. And I also know how hard it can be to even think about hitting that Pause button.”
― Darcy Luoma, Thoughtfully Fit: Your Training Plan for Life and Business Success

“For most of us, the act of walking itself is simple, but that’s precisely the challenge. Simple tasks in our multitasking world can be among the hardest to do without giving in to the temptation of doing something else at the same time.”
― Thatcher Wine, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

“Look for opportunities to multitask in a positive way, such as doing something creative alongside your kids while they do their homework â€� you will still be parenting, and they will see you as a good role model and creative inspiration.”
― Thatcher Wine, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

“We think about going to the gym while we are at work. We think about work while exercising at the gym. We think about the errands we need to run while socializing with friends. We think about socializing with friends while running errands. There are many times where our body may be in one place, but our mind is elsewhere. These are internally driven multitasking distractions. Some are harmless, but when we choose to monotask, we can do everything better.”
― Thatcher Wine, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

“My boyfriends multiplied by twos and threes, a response to forthcoming pain, perhaps, a bracing for an injury. We went in dates to our favorite bar, and I was happy. I could be happy and sad. It’s the way I can multitask, it’s the way two feelings can be the same feeling. It’s the way a rash and a willow can both weep.”
― Hilary Leichter, Temporary

“A startup founder is like a conductor of an orchestra, initially playing every instrument.

Whilst playing the instruments also finding talented people to take over each instrument and raise $ to buy better instruments.

All whilst ensuring the crowd doesn't leave and grows!”

“From where we sat, this man appeared to be enjoying a luxury all of the women we know couldn't imagine: the freedom to focus on one task at a time.”
― Eve Rodsky, Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do

“A reminder, in itself, takes tremendous mental effort by you. It requires knowing what needs to be done, remembering what needs to be done, and reminding someone to get it done, whereas the person being reminded gets off easy. He doesn't have to remember a thing, nor does he worry about forgetting. And if you think about it, reminding and praising is the daily work of parenting children, not partnering with husbands.”
― Eve Rodsky, Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do

“Manifesting Generators can take their energy levels to newer heights. We really can do so much, in one day, than we give ourselves credit for.”
