This is an 'ultimate guide' to solve a major lifestyle issue.. with the task stacking skill.

It's very well researched and examples are relatable... This article can easily form a course too.

Thanks Hari, keep them coming 🙏🏻

Thanks, Abhi, for your kind words. When I was writing, I had this thought: doesn't everyone use multitasking in their daily lives? So, why should I write about it? What I have realized is that such a common phenomenon is often taken for granted, and people stop exploring and innovating new use cases.

So, I thought of bringing it to readers attention. I wanted people to think about multitasking—the cases where multitasking can prove to be totally wrong and the few cases where we just do it without putting sufficient thought into how multitasking should be done. If it is properly researched and a framework is created for the best utilization, I feel the use cases are infinite, and everyone can become superhumans and achieve maximum output with limited stress. I think a lot can be said and done on this topic. If you can share any use cases that you personally experienced, it can be helpful to readers.

I personally don't believe in multi-tasking. I succeed when I do one thing at a time. That said, I batch and stack related tasks.

There was a time in my life when I needed to multi-task just to stay afloat. But this is where I am after a years-long journey.

An example of stacking: I collect writing and campaign ideas, create, edit etc. with blurred lines, since they are kind of similar. But I wouldn't do any of these while waiting in a queue.
