About the Book 

Reclaim your attention, productivity, and happiness with this “captivating, informative and beautifully written” book by learning how to keep your focus on one familiar task at a time (Nate Berkus).

Modern life is full of to-do lists, all-consuming technology, and the constant pressure to be doing and striving for more. What if you could train your brain to focus on one thing at a time? What if the secret to better productivity involved doing less, not more? 

Drawing on research in psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness, The Twelve Monotasks provides a clear and accessible plan for life in the twenty-first century. Practice resisting distractions and building focus by reading, walking, and listening. Do the things you already do, such as eating, playing, and creating, with renewed attention. 

The Twelve Monotasks will help you strengthen your monotasking muscles so that you can do one thing at a time, do it well, and enjoy all of your life.
