Ichigyo-zammai - one thing at a time: To give full concentration to a single act. The practice of one thing at a time. - ‘The Joy of Zen’ (Japanese philosophy). I like this very much and have been drawn to the idea for a while now. I watch all these busy-busy ‘multi-taskers’ and, as I calm my mind, they seem more and more like chaotic, frenetic jugglers. In truth the brain cannot do two things at once - attention flicks between the individual tasks - so one ends up doing things one at a time anyway, but in a stressed-out, inefficient - sometimes dangerous - manner. ☝️ -- source link
