Is Multitasking a Scam? | One-Minute What

What this episode covers

<p>Welcome to my new bonus series, <strong>One-Minute What? </strong></p><p>Where I talk about something for one minute that makes you stop and go… what?</p><p><strong>Is multitasking actually productive, or does it just feel that way?</strong></p><p>Multitasking didn’t become popular because it works. It became popular because it <em>sounds</em> productive. It fits perfectly into hustle culture. Do more. Faster. At the same time.</p><p>The problem is, multitasking doesn’t make us more efficient. It makes us <em>feel</em> efficient. And feeling productive is much easier to sell than actually being productive.</p><p>That’s why companies love it. Productivity tools love it. And why “must be able to multitask” keeps showing up in job descriptions.</p><p>So the next time you see that phrase, just know what they’re really asking for.</p><p>And that’s your One-Minute What.</p>
