Any time we choose to pay attention to something, there’s naturally a cost. And if we’re not intentional about where we’re placing our focus, we’re probably wasting time. In this episode, Thatcher Wine shares some of the key principles from his book, “The 12 Monotasks.” Thatcher explains why multitasking is not worthwhile and shares practical steps for leaders and entrepreneurs about improving your sleep, listening better, appreciating the value of silence, and creating a work culture that prioritizes monotasking.
