Drawing on research in psychology, neuroscience and mindfulness, this guide to giving dedicated focus to one task at a time breaks down 12 everyday activities to strengthen our âmonotaskingâ muscle so we can rebuild and expand our attention spans. 25,000 first printing. - Baker & Taylor
Wine argues that humans are wired to monotask--to give dedicated focus to one thing at a time: when we focus on what we're doing, we can enjoy life, connect with others, and succeed. - Grand Central Pub
Reclaim your attention, productivity, and happiness with this âcaptivating, informative and beautifully writtenâ book by learning how to keep your focus on one familiar task at a time (Nate Berkus).
Modern life is full of to-do lists, all-consuming technology and the constant pressure to be doing and striving for more. What if you could train your brain to focus on one thing at a time? What if the secret to better productivity involved doing less, not more?Â
Â
Drawing on research in psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness, The Twelve Monotasks provides a clear and accessible plan for life in the twenty-first century. Practice resisting distractions and building focus by doing the things you already doâlike reading, sleeping, eating, and listeningâwith renewed attention. For example, the next time you go for a walk, donât try to run an errand or squeeze in a phone call, but instead, notice the cool breeze on your face and the plants and birds that may cross your path. Immerse yourself in the activity and let time melt away, even if youâre only actually out for 20 minutes. Notice how much clearer your head feels when you return home. This is the magic of monotasking. With monotasking you will:- Become more productive
- Produce higher quality work
- Reduce stressÂ
- And increase happiness.

Thatcher Wineâs The Twelve Monotasks will help you do one thing at a time, and do it well, so you can enjoy all of your life!
