Single-Tasking Methodology
Productivity approach emphasizing exclusive focus on one task at a time, opposite of multitasking. Neuroscience research shows single-tasking produces 40% better results than task-switching while reducing stress and cognitive load. Core principle: the brain doesn't truly multitask, it rapidly switches, incurring performance penalties.
