SOUL CRUMBLES

We humans can only do one thing at a time.

Marte writes this quote in their iPad notes

-Where did this come from? Simon mutters looks at Marte

-Yesterday while I was in the hospital I watched a nice anime: “Love Through a Prism”. Brant Sensei’s quote struck a chord with me. Marte reply looks Simon and continues: -I’ve wasted so many years, energy, time doing a thousand things at once…

-The implicit assumption is that you used to do “two or three things at once.” In reality, from a cognitive and biological standpoint, humans don’t multitask: they task-switch, that is, they rapidly switch from one task to another, paying an invisible cost each time. Energy, attention, recovery. It’s a silent tax.

Simon sits next Marte and murmur: You pay a lot… And now that you’d like to finally focus on what truly makes you fulfilled… You’re paying the high price.

-indeed, Marte reply, Indeed my friend.

But despite this, I have decided that from today on I will only do what satisfies me in the time I have left. Would u help me… Simon?

-I will help you Marte.
