I used to think multitasking was key to productivity but now I know it just leads to burnout
Giving breaks every 25 min, 50 min or 1 hours. Who determines these numbers and why? If you can remain focused why not work more?

@johnberg totally. by the way, I can't stop myself from asking you this - how did you create this animated gif profile pic 🙂

A productivity myth is that multitasking boosts efficiency—it's actually more likely to decrease focus and productivity.
Waking up at 5 am is the ticket to productivity, say the gurus. But it's never worked out for me, since family activities/obligations mean I don't get to bed until 10-11 pm. I get a lot more done when I've had 7+ hours of sleep! 🛌

The idea that multitasking makes you more productive. I’ve learned it’s way better to focus on one thing at a time and give it your full attention.
