- Why "Multi-Tasking" Kills Your Productivity
In partnership with
>5min read
Are you actually busy..
Or are you just scattering your brain into a thousand browser tabs and calling it hustle??
You open Slack.
Check email.
Scroll social media.
Answer a text.
Then wonder why you feel burned out yet got nothing done..
Here’s the truth:
Multitasking is mental junk food.
If you want real productivity (and to feel human again)
you need to batch, block, and protect your focus like your life depends on it.
Overview
The Multitasking Trap
Your brain hates switching tasks.
Every time you jump from replying to emails → checking Slack → working on a big project, you burn glucose and dopamine. That leaves you tired and less creative. (1)Context switching kills deep work.
Even tiny distractions create “attention residue” mental leftovers that clutter your working memory and slow you down. (2)Batching + Time Blocking = Mental Clarity.
Grouping similar tasks into focused blocks prevents leaks. Combine it with time blocking (pre-scheduled, protected work windows) to build a distraction-proof productivity fortress.Why it works:
Reduces cognitive load.
Stabilizes dopamine for longer motivation.
Protects your brain’s executive function for real problem-solving.

What ‘IF’..? Challenge
Most people feel busy but stay stuck
because their brain is scattered across emails, notifications, calls, and mindless scrolling. All pretending to be productivity.
Breaking The Cycle:
Step 1️⃣ — Write Your Hit List
Before you do anything else:
➡️ Grab a notepad or open Notes.
➡️ List your 3 most important tasks for today — no busywork. Only what actually moves your needle.
➡️ Rank them: #1 = biggest win, #2 = next, #3 = nice bonus.
Step 2️⃣ — Block & Sprint
Don’t try to crush it all at once.
➡️ Take Task #1.
➡️ Block 30–60 minutes on your calendar — no phone, no tabs, no excuses.
➡️ Treat it like a non-negotiable meeting with your future success.
Then do it. One block, full focus.
Then take a breath.
Step 3️⃣ — Reward the Win (Your Dopamine Hit)
After each sprint, you must celebrate:
✔️ Take a 5-minute walk around the block.
✔️ Grab a healthy snack you actually enjoy.
✔️ Blast your favorite song and move.
✔️ Or text a friend “Just crushed it!” (instant social dopamine.)
