This episode challenges the common belief that multitasking increases efficiency. In reality, the brain cannot truly handle multiple complex tasks at once — it rapidly switches between them. Each switch forces the brain to reload context, creating mental fatigue and reducing accuracy, memory, and deep understanding.
Multitasking feels productive because it creates constant activity and quick small completions, but it actually fragments attention and prevents meaningful progress. Technology and workplace culture reinforced this myth by rewarding responsiveness rather than focused results.
True productivity comes from sustained concentration and finishing one task before starting another. Multitasking doesn’t make you more capable — it only keeps you busy while reducing real effectiveness.
