Busy semester. I had “no time” to study coding. That was revealed to be a lie; I studied while stretching between sets, while waiting in line, and yeah, even going to the bathroom. To those who decry multitasking, I believe that’s a misconstrued concept. Often, we have to simultaneously breathe/run. Attack/defend. Extend/contract. It’s the illusory mental division of tasks that I decry; I believe that a harmonized mind can meld tasks flawlessly into each other, becoming a channel of pure accomplishment, effortlessly flowing from one moment to the next. But in order to reach this state, I acknowledge that the mind must be diligently sharpened and conditioned.

I cultivate yang and yin, but don’t do well at multitasking.

That’s fine, I believe once you cultivate both of those enough, the illusion of opposites disappears, and you will subsequently become good at multitasking, because the illusion of separate ‘tasks’ will disappear as well. Keep up the good fight!

Interesting thoughts… I agree that “melding” tasks makes sense, allowing us to accomplish more, but focus is often necessary to do certain tasks well… Perhaps the “sharpened and conditioned mind” is more adept at sliding between intense momentary focus, and broader multi-channel perspective… Hmm… I will ponder this while I am tending to other things I need to do. Lol! Thanks for the intriguing path to explore!

Words fail to capture all layers of introspection, but yes, undivided focus among the illusionary divide of tasks will allow them to not be separate things that tug at attention, but expressions of one harmoniously tuned mind.
