I’ve said for years that I’m a great monotasker, and that multitasking is nothing but a lure for the ego to feed off of… and just like a lure, it’s not real food.

Most of the amazing things in my life have come from times when my attention was single-focused, and not shared between dozens of tasks, responsibilities, and hobbies.

Attention must be trained, like any other part of the undisciplined mind… and it is not an unlimited resource.

It’s precious. It’s valuable. It’s more of an exclusive resource than we think.

Use wisely, lest we find ourselves without it.
