Productivity is money. A CRAZY IDEA - Chris Bailey

your brain is simply not built to focus on more than one thing at once. In fact, your brain can’t focus on two things simultaneously — instead it rapidly switches between them, which creates the illusion that you’re doing more than one thing at a time.

By removing every object of attention that’s potentially more stimulating and attractive than what you intend to do, you give your brain no choice but to work on that task.

the most productive people are the ones who strike a balance between the two extremes, who understand the power of capturing and organizing what they have to get done, but who also don’t sacrifice real work in favor of being productive about productivity.
