Why is getting there one of the 12 monotasks?
Texting while driving is one of the absolute most dangerous things one can do and yet millions of people do it every day. Practicing this monotask may literally be a matter of life and death when it comes to driving. While the monotask was initially focused on driving, Thatcher thoughtfully expanded it to include a broader approach to paying attention while getting from one place to another.
