#401 - Multitasking Is Ruining Your Life (The Stoics Warned Us)
Episode 401
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Our culture glorifies multitasking—but the Stoics would call it a mistake.
In this episode of The Strong Stoic Podcast, we explore why doing more at once often means experiencing less. Drawing on Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, we examine presence, intention, and why even “productive” multitasking quietly erodes meaning.
We’ll talk about:
Why multitasking feels productive but isn’t
- The difference between intentional rest and avoidance
- How presence transforms ordinary actions
- Why life feels short when attention is scattered
Slow down. Focus. Do what matters—fully.
