All Gas. No Traction.
I suck at multi-tasking.
Despite the fact that I’ve been doing it all my life, the real question is… why?
Have you ever felt the power of dedicated, focused attention on a single objective?
It’s deep. It’s powerful. It works.
Instead, I typically spin...
Thoughts. Worries. Businesses. Goals. Conversations. Notifications. Butterflies to chase.
If my brain had a smell, it’d be burning rubber.
And we don’t talk about the wear and tear enough.
Not just on results — on us.
Multitasking chews up mental tread.
Constant switching overheats the engine.
Nothing breaks all at once… it just slowly degrades.
The other day I was running errands while on a “quick” phone call.
After reflection, I did neither well.
Double the inefficiency; Half the fun.
Created friction that didn’t need to exist.
That’s what all gas, no traction looks like.
Movement without progress. Effort without momentum.
Focus preserves the machine.
Less burnout. Less noise. Fewer self-inflicted repairs.
I’m trying to not do more anymore.
The inner turmoil is to stop grinding myself down while pretending it’s productivity.
What’s one thing in your life right now that deserves your full, undivided attention?
