“Reading is a particularly effective counterbalance to many of the negative effects of other forms of entertainment we consume... Holding a book in your hands and slowing down to read offers an antidote to digital overload.”
― The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better
― The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better
“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.”

“When babies are born, they can typically only focus on objects eight to twelve inches in front of them. Their eye muscles strengthen and improve quickly so that they can see and take in more of the world through their eyes.
I find it somewhat ironic that most of the human race now spends so much time staring at objects â€� phones and tablets â€� eight to twelve inches in front of our faces. Perhaps we all just want to return to our childhood?”

“Your devices are very powerful in their ability to help you create, but they can also become sources of distraction and wasted time. During your creative time, turn off notifications and close apps and windows that are not essential to your creative work. Advertisers and other companies want you to pay attention to their creative ideas â€� instead, cultivate the ability to resist them and redirect your attention to monotasking your creative ideas.”

“We’ve often been taught that if we truly want to get somewhere in our lives, we have to work hard and stay focused on our goals. But what if the best way to get from Point A to Point B is to detour to rest stops much more frequently?”

“One of the great things about teaching is how difficult it is to multitask while doing it. Like reading, teaching requires your full focus â€� I consider that a feature, not a flaw. When things are hard to multitask, that means they require effort and attention, which is a good thing. We have to pay attention, bring our full focus to teaching, and then we can do it well.”

“The primary goal of monotasking getting there is to arrive safely, pure and simple. It’s highly likely that the greatest risk in the average person’s day is concentrated around the times that they are in transit from one place to another.”

“Learning new skills is one way we can rewrite the story of our lives. Whether it is to pursue a different career, for our own intellectual curiosity, or to strengthen our ability to focus, monotasking learning can be very rewarding.”
