Melinda French Gates emphasizes the importance of single-tasking during a recent interview about her new book, "The Next Day: Transitions, Change, and Moving Forward." She argues that multitasking is a myth, reflecting on her own experiences at Microsoft where juggling tasks led to significant errors. French Gates shares how she adopted a different strategy by focusing on one task at a time, which proved more effective despite the fast-paced tech environment. This approach not only improved her productivity but also reduced her mistakes significantly.
I think multitasking is a myth, honestly. I made some of my biggest mistakes when I was multitasking.
I might not complete the whole task, but focus on it. Put it aside, even if it's only 60% done, and then focus on the next thing.
