We work hard every day to check boxes off our to do lists, but what if all that work is merely an illusion of progress. Maybe if you could only multitask.
What struck me here is the link between Global Workspace Theory and how organizations set strategy. Companies often insist on 10 “top priorities” at once, which in practice means none of them are truly priorities. We fall into the trap of confusing motion with progress.
This is spot on and I've been trying to convince some of my staff this exact thing. I may just need to share this post with them so they recognize it's true, multitasking is a farce. Thanks for supporting my viewpoint LOL

I’m smiling reading this, William. I often say to my clients “if everything is a priority than nothing is a priority”.
This applies to individuals to. If your goal is to do everything, you’ll end up with nothing.
