Welcome to the Mind Theory Podcast, where we unravel the science behind how we think, act, and thrive. In this episode, we dive into the curse of multitasking—a habit we often think makes us more productive but is secretly sabotaging our efficiency and mental health.

Based on insights from Verywell Mind and cutting-edge research, we’ll uncover:

Why multitasking reduces accuracy and drains your brain’s processing power.
How multitasking isn’t truly multitasking—it’s rapid task-switching that lowers focus and increases error rates.
The hidden toll multitasking takes on your mental and emotional health.
Proven strategies to break free from the multitasking trap and embrace single-tasking for better results.
Real-world examples and studies that highlight the benefits of focusing on one task at a time.

This episode will challenge your assumptions about multitasking and show you how to reclaim your focus, boost productivity, and protect your brain health.
