Walking.
Many people have become used to the idea that they should always be doing something when they can—walking and talking on the phone, or walking and looking at our social media feeds for example. What if we just walked?
Why is walking one of the 12 monotasks?
Walking is a relatively easy physical activity that we can do almost anywhere we are. By walking with focus and not multitasking while we walk, we can rebuild the connection between our brain, our body, and our surroundings.
How monotasking walking helps with everything we do:
Monotasking our walks can help us strengthen our monotasking muscles (in addition to providing physical benefits). We can rebuild our ability to pay attention to details while we walk—the earth beneath our feet, what we hear and see. Then we can apply our ability to focus and pay attention to details to everything we need to do in the rest of our lives.
