Two birds with one stone
The brain can’t truly juggle multiple high-focus tasks at once, it switches, frantically between demands, bleeding energy with every pivot.
Each time we shift focus, we pay a toll: in clarity, in accuracy, in creativity. It’s not two birds with one stone, it’s two half-hit birds with a stone thrown too fast, thus we end up with scattered attention and low resolution work.
Doing more, meaning less:
Multitasking whispers the promise of productivity, but delivers diluted outcomes. We check more boxes but connect to less meaning, we skim through conversations, we half-listen, half-type, half-live, and all the halves never quite make a whole.
The depth of singularity
True focus isn’t trendy, but it’s powerful. When we give one thing our full presence, we don’t just complete it, we elevate it. We enter the flow state, we build mastery. We live fully in the moment instead of darting between them.
One bird. One stone. Done with intention, not illusion.
Conclusion:
In a culture that celebrates speed and split focus, choosing depth is revolutionary.
Because presence is rare, and rare things hold value. So no, you’re not “killing it” by doing five things at once, you’re just slowly killing the quality of all five.
Aim for one bird at a time, let every stone matter.
