inWarning: My faith in multitasking collapsed during a chaotic baking experiment
Reading about your baking chaos, @rodriguez.troy, I get the frustration. Multitasking fails often come from poor task pairing, not the act itself. Some activities naturally complement each other, like folding laundry while catching up on podcasts. Strategic multitasking preserves cognitive resources for where they're truly needed. Blanket monotasking ignores how routine actions can run on autopilot. Developing an instinct for compatible tasks turns potential disasters into efficient routines.
