Quote by Thatcher Wine

“Now, more than ever, I believe that the antidote to our ever-expanding to-do lists, the distractions of modern life, and the fragmentation of our attention is to do one thing at a time. Once we realize that we are the ones who control our own attention, we can choose where to apply it.”

“Many of us go through our days attending to multiple stimuli simultaneously without giving any one thing our full and complete attention. We eat while watching TV and check our email while in the presence of our families. We think about our problems in the middle of a conversation or during an otherwise positive experience.

“We think about going to the gym while we are at work. We think about work while exercising at the gym. We think about the errands we need to run while socializing with friends. We think about socializing with friends while running errands. There are many times where our body may be in one place, but our mind is elsewhere.

“My boyfriends multiplied by twos and threes, a response to forthcoming pain, perhaps, a bracing for an injury. We went in dates to our favorite bar, and I was happy. I could be happy and sad. It’s the way I can multitask, it’s the way two feelings can be the same feeling. It’s the way a rash and a willow can both weep.”
