The Book On The Myth of Multitasking

By Anonymous

We've been sold the idea that multitasking is the ultimate productivity skill. In reality, it's the ultimate productivity killer. Each time you switch tasks, your brain slows down, your error rate climbs, and your focus fragments. Yet most of us spend our days in a haze of constant context-switching, wondering why we never seem to get ahead.

The Myth of Multitasking is your wake-up call - and your way out. This first volume in The Deep Work Society series dismantles the myths, reveals the cognitive science behind focus, and shows you how to rebuild your work and life around single-task, deep-focus performance.

In this book, you'll learn:
Why multitasking feels productive even when it isn't.How attention residue erodes the quality of your thinking.Practical methods for creating focus blocks in noisy environments.How to defend your time from digital and in-person interruptions.Systems for sustaining deep work in modern workplaces.
This is not a plea to slow down - it's a plan to go faster by going deeper. Once you experience the speed, clarity, and satisfaction of proper focus, you'll never go back.
