Single-tabbing. The best way to get things done today.
As I have written before, multi-tasking is multi-failing. So how to focus in a world of a hundred open Chrome tabs?
- First step is to block time for your most important task of the day.
- Once you are in that time block, close all other apps, all other windows / tabs, and keep open only the one tab that matters.
- Even better, go full screen so that you can even avoid looking at notifications, pings etc.
- Switch off all notifications. No pop ups, no sounds, nothing.
- Don’t get up until the focus time block is over.
Repeat a couple of times a day and see magic happen.
p.s. The phone is useless for single-tasking since there are so many distractions. Avoid working on the phone. I only use it for phone calls.
