I've introduced a foreign concept. Man, Let your brain focus on one thing for a change, cause today we are talking about multitasking, and honestly, people celebrated way too much. Man. People celebrate multitasking way too much, way too much. I can do five things at once. I'm always multitasking. You feel me. You ever been talking to somebody and they don't really have your attention and you're and you're trying to convey some some very important information and they say some stupid shit like I can multitask, I can multitask, And in your mind you're thinking, motherfucking no, you can't. You feel me, like, no, you're not gonna multitask with this. You understand what I'm saying. I'm I'm like, I'm telling you what's wrong with my with my vehicle. You feel me, And you're sitting there typing and answering phone calls and text messaging. No, you're not gonna multitask with this, you feel me? Yeah? Uh?

You've trained yourself to stay mentally fragmented. You've trained yourself to stay mentally fragmented. That's what you've done. And here's the truth. Multitasking is destroying the quality of your life. Oh, talk big, talk big. We're gonna talk heavy today. We're gonna talk heavy. Multitasking is destroying the quality of your life, not just your work. Not just your work. Multitasking is destroying the quality of your life. Somebody, y'all ready to bicker this morning?

It's destroying your relationships. It's destroying your ability to actually be present. Do y'all want a bigger today? Do y'all want a bigger today? This destroying your ability to actually be present? Because most multitasking isn't productivity. Most multitasking is not productivity. Yeah, it's constant task switching. Solid is it's constant task switching, and task switching quietly drains. Your brain all day long. Did you hear me? My type? Most of my tight tasking isn't productivity. It's constant task switching, and task switching quietly drains your brain all day long like a church song. Let's get it one TI. I've hustled harder than the moment. I'm a feast on these streets.

Man, shout out to the most intentional morning circle on the planet. Yeah, yeah, did we talk heavy? We talked to heavy already. Man. I said that multitasking is in productivity. None of the great came back in here and right back, and she said multitasking has been proven to not be possible, no bigger, And I said, it's constant cold switching. Excuse me, task switching. That was a Freudian slip. It's constant task switching, and task switching quietly drains your brain all day long. Multitasking is destroying your quality of life. Man, it is, it is, it is, And I put the house on that, but let's get busy. Let's start with the cognitive cost, the cognitive price that you pay for multitasking, because every time you switch tasks, your brain has to reset an email, answer an email, back to the project, check a notification, back to the conversation, look at your phone, back to thinking. And that switching feels normal now in two thy and twenty six. It feels normal now, but it comes with a cost mental energy, attention, your processing or computing power. And here's the reality. Your brain was not designed to constantly restart itself. Your brain was not designed to constantly restart itself. And the more you switch, the more you switch, the harder deep thinking becomes. Right, was the last time you were able to sit down and literally think deeply throughout the course of your day? Deep thinking becomes hard, hard, hard, hard. The more you switch, the harder deep thinking becomes. And that's why people feel mentally exhausted now. And there's no exhaustion like mental exhaustion. I really wish I was in here with me today. There is no exhaustion like mental exhaustion, physical exhaustion. It does not compare to when you are mentally exhausted. Yeah, and that's why in twenty twenty six, everybody's running around here feeling mentally exhausted even when they haven't done meaningful work. So even when you haven't done meaningful work, you haven't done anything that is going to shift the trajectory of anything in your life. You feel me and you are mentally exhausted. And that's because fragmented attention burns your energy fast. It burns your energy fast, it man, Fragmented energy burns your energy fast. Man. So let me ask you, you know, I always got to ask early, how often does your attention fully state in one place anymore? How often does your attention fully state in one place anymore? You understand? I'm I'm just you know, I always date myself. You feel me, But I'm forty eight years old and I'm under the old life. So I remember growing up, you know, I was, you know, born in the la seventies, was raised in the eighties and nineties. You feel me. I remember growing up in the eighties. You feel me in the early eighties, me all throughout the eighties. And you remember when when when the men folk would set out on the task, and remember when they would stay on the task all day so you would look at you would see men a change a carburetor on a car, you feel me. You would see men change the transmission in a car, you understand, put a roof on the house. Whatever project they was working on, they would be at it, and they would stay at it all day long, only taking breaks to eat and sit down. You feel me. Didn't really drink, didn't. I mean, every now and again you get some people who you know, have a beer or something during the during the time. But for the most part, and when I say to me, I'm talking about Papaulnim, Papaul neilm would sit down and sit on that task. That's the whole time. And you better not come out there talking to them. The women folks used to leave them alone. You understand what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Big dads say they used to help one another instead of charging people for help. You don't hear me though, big dads, you don't hear me though, you don't hear me though we pop on them. You understand what I'm talking about. That's us, that's us, big das. Yeah, you lend a hand, but there was no multitasking. That's what I'm getting at They used to get on their task, and they would stay on their task, and their attention would fully stay in place. It's not like that anymore. How often does your attention fully stay in one place anymore? Be honest, Be honest. Qui queen, what's up with your baby? Salute to you, Salute to my sister. Qui Qui d Man Junior in the building? What's up with you? Dep Man? Is you a cock? Jay? Reed? You ain't no cock jay? Red jay? Read you ain't? Oh cop? All right, now let's talk about quality man. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, kids said, it's impossible in education. It's impossible in education. Kid, Remember when those teachers, Remember when we was growing up, and remember how the teachers used to really be locked in. You feel me. I'm talking like I'm talking like kindergarten through third fourth grade, Like our teachers used to be locked in, and they used to when class was over. They would when school was over, they'd sit there, they get their lesson plans done for the next day. You feel me like they used to be locked in. My aunt was a teacher, and so I would I would, and I had to. I was a village baby, so I would catch the bus because I caught the bus in order to go to the school I went to. I would catch the bus to my auntie and uncle house and go to school with my cousins, and then I would My aunt taught at the school that was right behind my uncle house, and so then I would, you know, go there, catch the bus back there. But then I'd walk around to the school and my Auntie would take me to my grandparents' house every day when she got off work because my father works. Second shift, you feel me. So every day I'd go in there and my Auntie would be locked in, you understand, I get the school, school's out, my auntie working on her lesson plans. So my Auntie would stay an extra hour, maybe two after school, preparing for the next day. She would get her lesson plans together. She had to get her supplies whatever projects they were working on. She used to do a big project every year with her kids. And one of her big projects, I'm talking too much. We already at nineteen minutes and I ain't nowhere near done. It was a paper mache project. Every year, she used to do this big paper mache mask where people would mold their faces with paper mache. That was like the big project that she did here year. So we had to get the supplies together and stuff for the paper mache. There was no whole bunch of multi tasking. You feel me. Now, let's talk about quality, because this is where multitasking quietly did. Image is your life. When your attention splits, quality drops, go bicker with somebody else. When your attention splits quality drops, details get missed, Conversations becomes shallow, work becomes rushed, thinking becomes incomplete, and most people don't even notice it's happening anymore. We don't notice that it's happening anymore. Motherfucker's just normalized mediocre attention. And that's one of the one of my biggest struggles in life now is mediocre attention. Motherfucker. Don't give me no mediocre attention. You understand what I'm saying. I need it all front and center. We need to be we need to we need to connect just like in here, like right now, I'm giving you the best that I got, Like Anita, you feel me, So I don't deal with mediocre attention. We normalize mediocre attention. Here's a here's a here's a here's a titbit. You cannot produce high quality outcomes with divided attention. Period. That's in anything. You cannot produce high quality outcomes with divided attention. You feel me, you get divide. You give your kids divided attention. They fucked up. You give your spouse divided attention. They're fucked up. You give your job divided attention. It's fucked up. You cannot produce high quality outcomes with divided attention. It's not possible. You cannot divvy up your attention. That applies to work, parenting, relationships, conversations, planning, It even applies to rest. That's why, y'all, assets don't get good rest because your attention is so divine. You can't even rest good. You can't rest good for rulling over looking at your fucking phone to see what you've missed. I don't told y'all was you know. I kind of wanted to bicker today, but I really truly wanted to take this this this truck, and I wanted to run it into you because I need you to move. Like I need you to move, I need you to get better. I need you to move. Think about how often people are physically present but mentally somewhere else. Think about that some of y'all are there right now, some of y'all are physically present somewhere, but you you're mentally you're somewhere else, phone in your hand. During dinner. I can't even man, I can't even bro. You realize that y'all don't even sit down as a family no more and eat. Do you understand you don't. You don't even sit down as a family. Everybody sit at the table, no devices, We just sit here and talk. You feel me. My family will sit We'll watch American Funny, America's funniest home videos, you know what I'm saying, and eat dinner and laugh. You feel me, But we don't sit down and eat no more. Motherfuckers come grad, they playton, then they off to their corners of the world or their corners of the home. Think about how often people are physically present but mentally somewhere else. Look at the current divorce rate. Look at the current rate of divorce. Marriage is severing, relationship severing? You feel me? Co parenting is at. An all time high because all too often people are physically present but mentally somewhere else. Like I said, your phone is in your hand all day, you walk around the house scrolling while you're listening to somebody talk to you. You half working, half paying attention. That's not presence, that's fragmentation. And fragmented attention creates fragmented experiences. And I put the house on that. So you wonder why, motherfuckers, why. You can't keep a man because your punk ass has fragmented. You're giving him a fragmented experience. You wonder why you can't keep a woman. You're giving her a fragmented experience. Yeah, yeah, Thomas, if you singing the building, what's up with you? Hommy salute to you. And fragmented attention creates fragmented experiences. Damn, we had twenty four. We had twenty four already, already already shish. Multitasking, man, let's talk about stress. Multitasking is keeping. Multitasking keeps your brain in a constant state of alertness. You always switching, always scanning, always reacting, and eventually your nervous system stops settling down. Yeah, even in your even when you're trying to rest, Eventually your nervous system stop settling down. For our sniper, what's up with you? Like and that's why. People feel mentally noisy all the time, even in quiet rooms, you feel me, because their brain got trained to expect interruption. They your brain has become trained to expect interruption. Yeah, and this is where the shit gets dangerous. Business can feel productive while quietly destroying your peace. Nella roll that bar, roll that bar meter out here. Business can feel productive while quietly destroying your peace. Busyness can feel productive while quietly destroying your peace. And many people confuse stimulation with progress. Motherfuckers confuse stimulation with progress. Let me say it again. I'm a cuss to like I just did. Motherfuckers confuse stimulation with progress. Souting my brother, stormy be men in the building over there on the rumboard, my slute family. I appreciate you, bro but stormy motherfuckers confuse busyness. You feel me. Excuse me. They confused stimulation with progress. Broke, But stimulation is not clarity. It's not clarity. Constant activity is not focused, and being mentally overloaded all day eventually is going to affect your sleep. You feel me, it's gonna affect your patience. That's why you're always yelling at them kids, and you out of you and you yelling at each other and yelling at your spot, all that stressing, and you come home and you pass that shit to somebody else because you're losing your emotional control from being mentally overloaded all day. Gonna also affect your decision making, you know how y'all sit down and you say, I just don't want to think, I don't want to make no decisions no more. I just don't want to make no decisions. Or you just pick just whatever, or a lot of us pick what's in the best interests of outside entities, like you pick what's in the best interest of work over what's in the best interests of your marriage, or what's in the best interests of your family, or what's in the best interest of your health, or what's in the best interests of your mother fucking self. Yeah, so you affect your decision making. The affection hasn't a man. It affects your relationships because your brain never gets recovery only switching, never gets recovery only switching. Now here's the long term problem is if I didn't give y'all enough problems already, I told y'all maltitasking is fucking your life up. I'm not here to play with you. It is destroying the quality of your life, day by day, moment by moment, many by minute. There we go, minute bhyd manute behind, minute by minute. I can't hold it on. Multitasking is destroying the quality of your life. Minute by minute by minute by minute. I keep hold it on that Doobie Brothers on your ass. Yeah, here's the long term problem. Manmultitasking doesn't just distract you temporarily to f you, it trains distraction into your identity. I'm about to throw this, mother, I'm gonna throw this microphone nulla. Multitasking doesn't just distract you temporarily. It distraction into your identity. Distracted becomes who you are. You feel me, y'all remember growing up dads, fellas men? Y'all remember growing up them old men? You remember them, old man rob Singleton. Them old men didn't move fast. Do you understand? They moved with intention? They didn't move fast, They didn't move quick. My Pap Paul didn't walk fast. My daddy didn't walk fast. Now we're running all over the place, were picking up running, picked them. Old man walked with intention. Salute, Lalla, d what's up with you. They did not walk fast, paup Paul nim walked with intention. They didn't move quick. Paup Paul moved when the. Fuck he wanted to. I'm going somewhere with this. Multitasking does does it distract you temporarily? It trains distraction into your identity. Pap Paul would get on something and you couldn't pull him off of it. If it was reading his paper, watching baseball, watching the news, motherfucker, watching mash Dude. I know y'all think I'm bad, shit crazy while I'm trying to talk to that shit that's in you, Rob, I'm trying to talk to that shit that's in you. Yeah, Multitasking doesn't just distract you temporarily. It trains distraction into your identity. To if you says, distraction becomes the norm, you begin to seek it it. Not just seek it, bro, it becomes who the fuck you are. You train it into You train it into your identity. Bro, you become distracted, Distracted becomes who you are. We see these people now twenty twenty six. Think about you sit down and you try to talk to a grown man. What he doing? He's scrolling on his phone he moving around. He gotta get up and gotta do this. I gotta take this call. I mean, hold on, you feel me. We notorious for walking around with bluetooths in our Earfu's. All yeah, yeah, yeah, hold I'll be right back. Yeah, yea ya ya ya, like a mofuck. We can't even sit down and have a cigar in a conversation no more, because you got a multitask man, if you don't sit your punk ass down somewhere, yeah, we train it into who we are. Bro, You train distraction into your identity. I need y'all to get that now. I need you to roll that bar, that that meter out here one more time. Multitasking doesn't just distract you temporarily. It multitasking trains distraction into your identity. Over time, Stillness becomes uncomfortable, deep focus becomes difficult, damn near impossible. Silence becomes strange. Y'all. Motherfuckers be creeped out by silence, like it's too quiet. Like a motherfucker got to say something like when when I'm sitting around and I'm chilling and and and I'm sitting around. Men and and and and a. Man just we just chilling and a man just blurt out something and I'm thinking, like, nigga, what's wrong with you? Bro? Why are you unnerved by silence? I can't trust you. You made me put my hand on my pocket. What kind of man can't just sit here in silence and enjoy the silence? You feel me? Yeah? Yes, silence feels strange. You start needing constant stimulation, constant checking, constant engagement, and eventually your mind loses its ability to settle deeply into anything meaningful. You wonder why the relationships ain't work. That's why people procrastinate more. Now, Attention spans feel shorter, your focus feels weaker, not because people are incapable, because distraction became normalized, and normalized distraction destroys structure. That's why you sit at work for eight hours and you can't get a motherfucking thing done because your work is plagued with distractions. Your workforce, I mean, your work site's played with distractions. You all get like I'm telling you, I go crazy because of this new meeting culture. How do you go to work for eight hours and have eight meetings? When are you supposed to get work done? And then you stress because you can't get shit done, and then you bring that you take that shit home, and everybody has to deal with your stress level because of your inability to get shit done at home. Because we have normalized distraction, man, we like thirty three minutes seeing Man, y'all know this is absolutely unacceptable. So I gotta I gotta della what you say now, I gotta protect my time, you feel me, But we cracked the door, man, and we just let God in on this one salute to be about as far as in the building, he said, ninety five percent of people are afraid to be alone in their own thoughts. Who you telling? Who you telling? Quickly said The words listen and silent have the same letters for a reason. Yeah they Yet it's the same word. They the same word, just spelled different. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, distraction became normalized. That's where we are. Let's make this shit practical. Man. We give used a little bit of news you can use. I really wish I would bring your ass over to the Simple Truth Network. You feel me, This is. A good time for me to tell y'all though to you just reminded me you understand what I'm saying. TIF you just. Reminded me that I ain't just talking because I got lips. You need a system. You need a system. We're sitting here talking about this focus and being a multitasking and multitasking ruining your life. You need a system because you out here operating without one. Www dot the minimano dot com. Man, that's the system. That's all the system you need. That's all the system you need. All this work that we do in here comes from that. You feel me. Www dot minimanio dot com. Go get your system. That is the book, the one hour book that will change the way you watch the clock, written by yours Truly Junior The Truth, as well as the twenty twenty six Simple Truth Minute Manual Personal Planner with your Self Mastery Blueprint curated by Yours Truly Junior The Truth. Yeah, you need a system. You need a system. But all right, man, let's make this practical. If you want better focus, you need fewer attentions. If you want better focus, you need fewer attention switches. So step one, do one thing at a time. I know it's this is simple. It's so simple. Y'all gonna get mad at me, but I don't care. Number Step one. Do one thing at a time, not perfectly intentionally. Single tasking rebuilds attention strength. Did you hear what I said? Simple? Simple? Excuse me? Single tasking rebuilds attention strength. Do one thing at a time. Number two, remove visible distractions. Move your phone away, close the unnecessary tabs, silence your notifications, protect your mental space so that you can do one thing at a time. But that's step two. Step three is create focused windows, dedicated periods for uninterrupted work, no multitasking allowed. La La D said, single tasking rebuilds, rebuilds attention strength. Yes, ma'am. Salute to my brother Marit next sports podcast in the building. What's up with you, bro? Step three was create focused windows, dedicated periods of uninterrupted work, no multitasking allow. You gotta get on that, get on your pap pultshit, big days. Gotta get on your paw pultshit. Step foward practice presence, practice presence in conversations, practice presence in work, practice presence in rest, practice presence. Train your attention to stay where you are, stay where you are. You gotta take your mind back, man, It's time to take your mind back. It's time to take your mind back. Man, let's close this out because because this matters, and this matters more than people realize. It matters more than people realize. Your attention shapes your quality of life. Did you hear what I said? Your attention shapes your quality of life. And if your attention is constantly fragmented, eventually your life is gonna feel fragmented. To you wonder why your life feels fragmented, it's because your attention is your attention. Your attention shapes your quality of your life. And if your attention is constantly fragmented, eventually your life feel fragmented to scattered no ways, half present, half engaged, always busy, but never settled. Yeah, you know how you get you had these things happening, you be like, damn, how did I forget that? I forgot to do this? Oh I forgot to do that? Ah I forgot? Ah, Damn I forgot. Damn I forgot. And then you've got to scatter and go try to do Yeah. So here's my closing question for you. When was the last time your full attention stayed in one place, not partially fully Because multitasking isn't making your life better, it's quietly weakening your ability to focus deeply and that is why it is ruining. Ruining is the wrong word. It's destroying the quality of your life. Hey man, this is the Black Coffee Club Man around here. Man. We don't glorify busyness. We don't glorify business.
