The temptation to multitask is strong. It feels productive to have multiple things in progress. But this is an illusion. When you split your attention, nothing gets your full care. Each task receives partial effort, and partial effort yields partial results.
Choose one thing. Do it completely. Then move to the next. This is not slower. It is more effective. A task done with full attention takes less time than a task done with divided attention, because you are not constantly switching contexts and losing momentum.
When you finish one thing completely, you create closure. The task is done, not just paused. This closure frees your mind. You are not carrying unfinished work into the next task. You can give the new task your full attention because the previous one is truly complete.
Try it today. Pick one task. Finish it completely before you start another. Notice how much more satisfying this feels than having multiple things half-done. Notice how much clearer your mind becomes when you are not juggling multiple incomplete tasks.
Productivity is not about how many things you have in progress. It is about how many things you complete. One thing done well is worth more than five things started. Today, choose completion over the appearance of busyness.
