Multitasking isn't the productivity superpower we think it is; science shows it's actually draining our focus and setting us up for mistakes. This episode explores why single-tasking with the 25-5 focus block system helps your brain work the way it was designed, resulting in better work quality and more energy.

• Multitasking originated as a computer term from IBM in 1965, never intended for human brains
• Only 2% of people are true "supertaskers" - the rest of us are task-switching at great cognitive cost
• Task-switching consumes 40% of productivity time, equivalent to losing 16 weeks of work annually
• The 25-5 focus block system: 25 minutes of laser-focused work followed by 5-minute strategic breaks
• This system creates clarity, focuses intention, and preserves energy throughout the workday
• ChatGPT can help structure single-task workdays and create context preservation notes
• Common multitasking mishaps include sending messages to the wrong place and presentation errors

Try just one hour a day using the 25-5 focus block system: one priority, no distractions, full presence. Let your brain breathe and see what changes.
