You don't have a multitasking brain. You have a switching brain.
Every time you toggle from phone to task, task to notification, background podcast to actual thought, your nervous system registers it. Tiny stress responses, stacking up all day.
That scattered, low-grade exhausted feeling by 3pm? This is part of it.
Try one thing today, done as the only thing. No phone. No background noise. No half-attention.
Shower. Tea. The drive to school. Pick the smallest one.
And notice if it feels weirdly uncomfortable, because it probably will. That discomfort is useful information.
In the Collective, this is the kind of pattern we actually sit with. Not to fix it overnight, but to understand it first. Link in bio.
