If you find it extremely hard to focus on one task—or get anything done at all—while on the internet, this funny, tongue-in-cheek video produced by The Atlantic should strike a chord with you.
In it, senior editor James Hamblin explains why trying to multi-task by opening many tabs on your browser at once may be the cause of your low productivity—to avoid the negative effect of multi-tasking, he advocates that “single-tasking is the new multi-tasking”, urging viewers to commit to “Tabless Thursday”, and keep only one tab open at a time for the entire day.
Dubbed as “a vacation from distraction”, Tabless Thursday may be been brought across as a humorous concept in this production, but it can potentially be an effective way to prevent your mind from wandering when you are trying to get some work done.
Watch the amusing video below—you can even join the Tabless Thursday “movement” by purchasing some of its merchandise here.
