But when we're trying to do two mental things at once, it doesn't happen very well because when we switch back and forth, it could take five or 10 minutes to regain our focus.

So you actually lose time.

The second thing it does is you make more mistakes.

We work with a lot of doctors worldwide.

We know surgeons that try to multitask during operations will make more errors, surgical errors.

I mean, think about driving, which is mental, and texting, which is mental.

there are going to be more accidents, right?

So switch from multitasking to monotasking.

The third thing people think about is it wastes a lot of energy.

So when you're focused on a task, like you're writing or you switch to something else, then you have to shut this down, turn this on, use a lot of mental energy, use a lot of blood glucose.

So people struggle with mental fog or mental fatigue.

That might be why you're trying to have too many tabs open.

And even if they're minimized, they're still using energy to be able to keep it up.

So single tasking, I'm a big fan of screen-free mornings.

I have a video with me and Simon Sinek.

I just saw it on my Facebook memories.

It came out nine years ago.

It has like 40 million views.

And it's just me saying, don't touch your screen, your phone the first 30 minutes a day and the last 30 minutes a day.

But just, we talked about that.
