Thought Tweet #481 There's wisdom in the old adage, 'Do One Thing at a Time'...especially, if you do that one thing well.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Most brain experts will tell you it is impossible to think about more than one thing at a time. So, really, when we are multitasking the neuronal circuits in our brains are flipping switches back and forth and up and down, on then off then back on, etc. While all this is happening our brains don't lend their full power to any single task. This, of course, is part of our natural human condition. Our brains naturally multitask; consciously and unconsciously our brains sense and process vast amounts of stimuli. This allows us to accomplish many things more or less at the same time. Regardless, if we want to do any single task as well as we can then we need to concentrate on it.
