[ One thing at a time ]

There’s lots of advice out there that says, “slow down to accomplish more”. While that might be a way to do it, I like “Do one thing at a time” better. For every task or project we’re working on, there’s a lot of ‘administrative’ load in our brains. There are open loops the brain needs to keep track of. The more projects we’re working on at one time, the more of those open loops there are. It takes some practise, and effort, to restrict ourselves to one thing at a time. But, maybe paradoxically, it helps us get more done.
