We’ve been sold a productivity myth for decades.
If you want to get more done you should multitask. Juggle more. Move faster.
But neuroscience tells a very different story.
In this episode of Spacious Success I bust the myth that multitasking equals productivity and explain what is really happening in your brain when you constantly switch tasks.
I take you inside a very familiar workday. One filled with inbox triage, Slack messages, quick replies and meetings that leave you feeling busy but strangely unproductive.
In this episode I explore the four biggest productivity hijackers including constant context switching, always-on culture, “attention residue” and productivity theatre.
I also unpack what the science says about focus including the limited daily capacity of your prefrontal cortex, why interruptions destroy deep work and how the dopamine loop keeps many of us stuck in reaction mode.
Most importantly I share practical ways to recalibrate your workday so you can reclaim your focus, your time and your peak-performance.
Because productivity is not about doing more.
It is about doing what matters when your brain is best equipped to do it.
Listen now.
