Multi tasking is a myth. Your brain literally is unable to focus on more than one thing at a time. Multi taskers are really just “task switchers” which is scientifically proven to be inefficient because it takes several minutes to fully transition your attention.

One task at a time until completion is the most efficient

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.
