small waits stay empty. The elevator, the kettle, the line at the store. These are reps too.
Eat one meal without a screen. Notice the food. Notice how loud the silence is at first, and how it softens.
The quiet payoff
What single-tasking returns is not just productivity, though that comes. It is the feeling of being inside your own life rather than skating over the top of it. A conversation you actually heard. A book whose middle you remember. An hour of work that left something solid behind.
Doing one thing at a time is not a productivity trick
