i don’t think it’s healthy for the mind. doing one thing at a time requires focus and it’s how we stay present. it’s often rare to avoid thinking about the past, future, or the multiple crazy things going down in the present. finding something that requires your whole brain to think about is is so crucial and grounding, to be immersed in something other than yourself. i guess that’s why waiting rooms are so daunting - who wants to sit around, wait, and do nothing? obviously that’s a place to doom-scroll or read people mag or whatever. anyways when you’re not waiting around, just do one thing at a time dude

Slow down and think about what you’re really doing moment to moment
A lot of time and energy can be wasted trying to address too many things at once subconsciously
Occasionally check in with yourself to make sure you aren’t just anxiously passing time

eating a meal without watching something. sounds weird but its only like 10 minutes of quietly enjoying food and then its over and you realize how peaceful it was to do literally one thing. then you try driving without music and that is also nice. and then ur like oh maybe i can simply organize my closet without thinking of all the other things i need to do. maybe i can do one thing at a time, which gives me more time to do more things

Its cliched but it's true. I've got a bad case of scatter brain at all times. But I've found peace and progress in dedicating small, increasing increments of time to the things I am interested in. Take it one day at a time and don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two. But try to be consistent. 10 minutes of this, 15 minutes of that. Before you know it you develop a habit that is actually good for you. It also helps me to put my phone on airplane mode and disconnect while I do these things. Just me and the interest. It's not a science and it won't happen overnight. But before you know it you'll just be sucked into rhythms of the things you want to do rather than the things that rot your brain.

pro tip, dreams don’t always make sense - so when weird/bad stuff happens, you can shrug it off and be like wow what a weird dream bro 🤷
