The Science of Multitasking: Why It Doesn’t Work reveals the truth about multitasking and its impact on productivity, focus, and well-being. In a world that glorifies juggling multiple tasks at once, this book challenges the belief that multitasking is the ultimate productivity hack. Through a deep dive into brain science, the author explains how multitasking overwhelms the brain, reduces efficiency, and leads to mistakes. Instead of increasing output, it creates cognitive overload, making it harder to concentrate and produce quality work.

The book introduces the concept of single-tasking as a more effective approach, offering practical strategies for eliminating distractions and developing deep focus.

By embracing mindfulness, structuring our environment for success, and creating healthy habits, we can improve our productivity and reclaim our attention. Ultimately, The Science of Multitasking emphasizes that less is more, helping readers achieve greater success by doing fewer things with more focus and intention.
