Multitasking is killing your productivity: How to stop hopping between tasks
Who can resist it? The temptation to drop everything you’re working on in order to fulfil another task you’ve literally just remembered. Sure, you’re in the middle of doing something else – but what about that email you totally forgot to reply to? In the moment, this new task takes priority, especially when you’re worried you’ll only forget again otherwise.

The fallacy of the One-Person Billion-Dollar company
It’s time to stop focusing on the AI takeover of human expertise in business development and distribution.
