Hey friend,
You know those moments when you’re half on a call, half in an email, half pretending you’re listening, and somehow also reheating your coffee again?
Yeah. That’s not focus.
That’s a full-time juggling act dressed up as getting things done.
It’s not your fault. We were conditioned for this.
Somewhere between “team player” and “high performer,” our stressed out brains learned that not multitasking meant slacking.
But here’s the truth: Multitasking isn’t mastery.
It’s a panic response in a productivity costume.
And single-tasking, or doing one task at a time?
That’s not regression. It’s recovery.
Step one: Admit you’re multitasking. No Judgement here.
Step two: Do one thing like you mean it.
🔥Tiny Rebellion
This week, pick one thing that deserves your full attention.
Your morning coffee, reading an email, or your bathroom break.
Do it alone. No podcast. No email. No side-tasking. No screens. No bonus productivity.
Let it have your full attention, just 60 seconds.
It doesn’t have to be productive. It has to be yours.
Say it:
“One tab. One task. That’s enough.”
Every time you choose to focus on one thing on purpose, you remind your brain it’s not always about chaos, and your nervous system can exhale a little.
Because focus is functional rebellion.
💡 Why It Works
The brain runs on habit.
Multitasking is one of them.
Saying it out loud interrupts the loop and reminds your system:
Presence is not a luxury. It’s a power move.
These 60-second resets are a proven way to build cognitive control and reduce burnout, not by doing more, but by practicing presence.
Every time one thing gets your full attention, the brain learns:
“This is what enough feels like.”
Tiny, but potent and important.
