TMJ 045: How To Stop Multi-Tasking And Become 10X Productive


Listen Later

How do you stop multi-tasking and become 10X productive in med school?

You don’t have to be doctor, med student, pre-med or be involved in medicine to learn about multi-tasking and its supposed “benefits.” You might even know someone who is a multitasking machine and finds it effective. 

But, what if multi-tasking is a myth and actually kills your productivity, ruins your time management, and actually makes you do less as opposed to more!

I used to be a multi-tasker and now, I am telling you, it doesn’t work. 

It doesn’t help with your productivity. You’re actually task-switching as opposed to doing multiple tasks. 

In this episode of the TMJ show, I use research, including Cal Newport’s work, to talk about why I stopped, how you can also stop multi-tasking, and how you can get more focused and productive with your work.
