Single-Tasking to Escape Overwhelm
There is a specific kind of overwhelm that hits when your mind is juggling five tabs at once. You start a task, jump to another, forget what you were doing, and end the day exhausted with nothing meaningful finished. I lived in that loop for a long time, especially on days where work and fatherhood collided.
The breakthrough came when I stopped trying to do everything at once and committed to single-tasking.
When I give one task my full attention, I finish faster, think clearer, and feel more in control of my day. It is less stressful, less chaotic, and surprisingly more productive than trying to “do it all.”
Here is a simple way to try it today:
1. Choose one task that matters
2. Set a 20–40 minute timer
3. Put your phone in another room
4. Do only that one task until the timer ends
No switching. No sneaky inbox checks. No mental hopping.
What I learned is that productivity is not about doing more. It is about doing one thing with intention, finishing it, and moving on with a clear mind.
What is one task you will single-task today until it is fully complete?
