Most people believe multitasking makes them more productive.
They switch between emails, messages, and work, thinking they’re getting more done.
But here’s the truth—multitasking isn’t efficiency. It’s energy drain.
And instead of doing more, it makes you slower, scattered, and exhausted.
The Hidden Cost of Multitasking
Your brain isn’t designed to do two things at once.
It switches rapidly between tasks, burning energy every time.
- Every time you check your phone mid-task, you lose focus.
- Every time you switch tabs, your brain resets.
- Every time you jump between projects, it takes longer to get back into flow.
Multitasking doesn’t make you better.
It makes you tired.
The Single-Task Energy Boost
Instead of dividing your energy, channel it.
1️⃣ Do one thing at a time. Set a timer. Block distractions. Go all in.
2️⃣ Batch similar tasks. Emails in one session. Deep work in another. Stop mixing modes.
3️⃣ Train your focus. Start with just 10 minutes of undivided attention. Build from there.
4️⃣ Give yourself breaks. Work in sprints, not marathons. Even 5 minutes of rest resets your mind.
5️⃣ Notice the difference. Less stress. More energy. Clearer thinking. It happens faster than you think.
Deep work isn’t just productive—it’s energizing.
Less Noise, More Clarity
Some people multitask all day, wondering why they feel drained and distracted.
Others focus deeply, reclaiming their energy and getting more done in less time.
And the ones who do?
They don’t just finish their work faster.
They create their best work—with more clarity, more momentum, and more ease.
Because energy isn’t about doing more at once.
It’s about doing the right things—fully.
