Addictive, distracting, lots of bells and whistles, lots of noises, lots of earphones. Your focus goes all over the place. In a sense, the brain doesn't multitask. Like it's a total lie, right? I was on the original panel on multitasking with Cliff Ness out of Stanford. Like I worked on it. We are not built to multitask.

Achieving 500% Productivity Through Flow States

We can serial process information, but we do that at a subconscious level, a conscious level, a conscious mind goes one thing at a time, right? It doesn't process two or three things at once. You have to switch tasks. And every time there's task switching, there's a cost to it. So- I want to dive into that a little bit. For sure. So like with phones, one is the anticipation, right? You're right.

Dopamine is a, I mean, and even calling dopamine a chemical of anticipation is a lie. Because what are multi-tools? Neural chemicals are multi-tools. dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, serotonin, all these things. They do tens of thousands of jobs in the brain. The brain is really concerted by design.

No need to reinvent the wheel each time. Oh, this works. Can it work over here? Can it work over here? Can it work over here? That's sort of how neurochemicals function. Dopamine does a lot of different stuff. Most people don't realize, I'll give you a really simple example. Why does time pass so strangely in the flow?
