Multitasking Is a Myth: Focus Like Marcus Aurelius ✨
Multitasking isn’t real—it’s just rapid task-switching that drains your focus. In this episode, we explore how Stoic wisdom from Marcus Aurelius aligns with modern flow psychology: do less, better. Learn the mindset shift from “I have to” → “I want to,” and how a simple night or morning planning ritual frees mental bandwidth for what matters most.
Key Takeaways:
• ✅ Multitasking is really task-switching, which costs energy and focus.
• ✅ Marcus Aurelius: “Do less, better. Ask yourself: is this necessary?”
• ✅ Reframe tasks from “I have to” into “I want to” to reclaim agency.
• ✅ A nightly or morning planning ritual frees your brain for deep focus.
• ✅ Flow comes when you simplify and give one thing your full attention.
