in papers such as these the conclusion is that multi-tasking lowers mental health (lowers working memory & ability to filter out impressions while increasing distractability & stress.)
the opposite is monasticism… i’m reminded of putting in a CD into a videogame console… gotta remove it to play another game or to watch a movie… no tab-switching there.
is there a strict line between multi-tasking and monasticism?
like me waiting a certain time after writing this post before going onto watching the youtube video i just paused…
okay, so fifteen minute blocks of dedicated activity you say.
What about time inbetween blocks of activity? Like a cooldown time… or is the fifteen minute block baking in a cooldown time? if that phrasing makes sense
If you want cooldown between activities, you will need a rest period that is a multiple of 15 minutes.
