The Power of Mono-Tasking: Staying Human in a Machine World
In a world where AI can juggle fifty tasks at once, our minds are struggling to keep up. This episode explores why mono-tasking is becoming a lost art and why reclaiming deep, focused attention might be the most human thing we can do. We look at the neuroscience behind task-switching, how technology is reshaping our pace of work, and practical steps to rebuild depth, presence, and meaning in a machine-accelerated world. If you’ve been feeling scattered, overstimulated, or pressured to “keep up” with your own tools, this episode offers a quieter, steadier way forward.
