Are you Single Tasking? https://www.everythinginitsplace.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Single-Tasking-Day-post.mp4 Feb. 22nd is Single Tasking Day.  I cannot do two things at once.  Right now I am writing this blog about single tasking.  I’m not doing anything else.   When I get interrupted, I forget what I was thinking or doing.  And it takes longer to recall “where I was” or what I was thinking about.
