Yes! I love how you outlined this year. In the spirit of this same topic… Chris Hayes wrote a book this last year called the Sirens Call about how our attention is our most valuable resource. Great Reed also.
The main reason is instead of focused work we try to multi-task. However doing 3 different tasks at the same time is not multi tasking. Multi tasking is while one step of a job is being done, you start working on the 2nd step to save time. A perfect example talking to someone on the phone while caring for the baby and cooking with your free hand is not multi tasking. Chopping onions while the oil is heating for your stew, can be considered multi-tasking. If you are checking emails silence your phones and have only that one browser open on your computer is more focused. Thank you for that gentle reminder to be focused and not split-tasking.
