Let's go all the way in on the onion chopping.

That would be a higher level flow, but I've got to get the onions done.

I'm so sorry.

So if I can fall all the way in, like, look, it's going to be 10 minutes.

I'm going to do this in a nice Zen kind of way.

I'm going to really appreciate the knife.

I'm going to actually feel the experience.

I can choose...

To go all in, even if my skill set far exceeds it, I can just choose to be fully present to what I'm doing.

And that allows me to have this fully engaged, calmly detached experience, which is more alive.

I can even try something that's hard for me.

And if I really can accept that I might make a mistake and that's okay, then the anxiety can be dropped.

The anxiety is still an elective pain.

So I can drop the anxiety or I can drop the boredom by having the mental discipline of choosing my way into the moment.

Now suddenly the flow channel quadruples in size.

I think so.

In short, I'm not saying never do it.

And we do know the truth is neither humans nor computers actually multitask.

Yeah.

So getting good at task switching quickly is a performance optimization capability.
