Yesterday, I tried cooking pasta while answering work emails. I got so distracted I forgot the salt, overcooked the noodles, and ended up eating a soggy, bland mess. It hit me how multitasking isn’t really “efficient” when both tasks suffer. Now I’m forcing myself to do one thing at a time. When was the last time multitasking completely backfired on you?

Funny enough, I’ve had days where juggling a couple of things actually kept me sharper, like switching between tasks before I got stuck on one. Sometimes the variety keeps the energy up. But, question: Why didn't you order something else?

I get that—switching things up can definitely keep you on your toes. As for ordering something else, I just wasn’t in the mood, I guess.
