Ever feel like you’re juggling all the things, all the time—and still dropping the ball? 🙋‍♀️
In this episode of Women Around the Well, we’re debunking the multitasking myth and diving into the peace-producing power of monotasking—doing one thing at a time with holy intention.
We’ll talk about:
Why multitasking is quietly wrecking your peace (and your productivity)
The neuroscience behind focus and how your brain actually works best
What Scripture teaches us about slowing down and being fully present
Practical ways to retrain your brain and reclaim your attention
And how choosing holy focus is an act of worship, not weakness
Whether you're feeling frazzled, distracted, or just done, this episode is your permission slip to stop the chaos and step into God-centered clarity.
Because friend—you can do all things, just not all at once.
✨ Key Takeaways:
Only 2% of people can actually multitask effectively—chances are, you’re not one of them (and that’s a goodthing!)
Your RAS (Reticular Activating System) filters the world based on what you repeatedly focus on
God didn’t ask you to do everything—just to be faithful with the next right thing
Monotasking increases peace, clarity, quality of work, and mental wellness
Presence isn’t lazy—it’s holy

Set a timer and focus on just one task for 25 minutes. Then take a 5-minute break.Eliminate Noise:

Start your day by writing down the one thing that matters most. Prioritize it before the rest.Speak It Out Loud:
Tell yourself what you're focusing on right now. “I’m working on writing this report. That’s it.”Start With Prayer, Not Pressure:
Invite God into your focus. Ask, “Lord, what do You want me to give my attention to today?”
