Let me introduce you to a man named George, who is walking to college with one of his hands on the phone, his eyes are watching flash news on snapchat, instagram or youtube and his mouth is chewing food. He could barely remember the information he was receiving, He could barely know the taste of his food and almost tripped himself.

That scenario is common in today's society. It's becoming a luxury to have a sit down meal without a distraction or even do ONE thing at a time. We might think that it's efficient but it's actually not. Thanks to our deficit attention due everything appears to move swiftly. Then, we got introduced to new terms called FOMO(red: fear of missing out). Then, the world is suddenly a crazy and a scary place to live in. We have to perform couple of tasks at a time due increasingly high demand either in our life or our job.

Then, when someone asked us about how was the experience or things we do, we barely remember a thing. Then, there's slight regret that we did not enjoy that particular moment. We want to rewind even, want to experience again but there seem to be no time.

In all honesty, the currency we speak in today's world is not money but time. It's such an expensive limited commodity. Many people I met, value their time more than the money. I think we want to accomplish so much but in the end we don't even value our accomplishment. We crave more and often, it is material needs.

I was that George. I multitasked thinking it would be better and I'd get more things done. Truth be told, I get things done but I never understand a single a thing. I learn nothing as I wasn't present. If you ask me, I would have no answer to describe the taste of fruit I just ate or how to troubleshoot a problem I was just having. It was terrible until I learn how to do ONE thing at a time.
