Multitasking works for simple tasks but fails for complex ones. You can walk and talk. You cannot write well and listen well simultaneously.
Each task switch costs time and mental energy. The brain needs to reload context, re-engage focus, remember where it was. These costs accumulate. What seems efficient is often wasteful.
Single tasking is the remedy. One thing at a time, fully. Complete or reach a natural pause before switching. The work goes faster despite feeling slower.
