  • multitasking degrades performance, even under optimal conditions, it takes a lot of time for the brain to switch from one goal to another, and from one set of rules to another
  • a switching time cost & those extra time costs quickly add up

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Ashley Anthony

Jamyson Haug

Laetitia Berton

Giovanna Scalzone
