Multitasking we’ve talked about this before even in this chapter but appears repeating being a master multitasker is not synonymous with being limitless. In fact, research repeatedly shows that people who multitask are considerably less productive than those who focus on one task at a time

In the book
Forget what is neither urgent nor important, and be fully present with the one thing in front of you, because a split mind learns and decides poorly. Do not believe the lie of multitasking; people who try to do everything at once are measurably less effective than those who do one thing fully. The most effective people I know keep not just a to-do list but a to-DON'T list — an inventory of what diverts them, to be avoided — and they treat focus as something that can be trained, until they can hold their attention even amid distraction. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
