Frequently asked questions
Why is multitasking a problem?
It feels productive but usually slows you down and increases mistakes, because the brain switches between tasks rather than doing them at once, and every switch costs attention. Single-tasking, giving one task your full attention even for a short block, gets more done with less exhaustion.
How can I concentrate better?
Make tasks clear and time-limited, decide what done looks like before you start, and work in shorter sessions with defined goals rather than long open-ended ones. Reduce external distractions such as notifications and notice internal ones such as worry. Small improvements to your environment matter more than a perfect one.
What is flow and how do I find it?
Flow is the state of being fully absorbed in a task so that time passes unnoticed. It happens most when a task matches your skill level, feels meaningful and has clear goals. You cannot force it, but you can set up the conditions, which is what the course helps you do.
