If you’re a developer, solopreneur, or digital creator, you know the struggle: you sit down to work, determined to make progress, but your attention is constantly pulled in a dozen directions. Slack pings, email notifications, Twitter tabs, and a never-ending to-do list. You try to multitask your way through it all, but instead of getting more done, you end up scattered, stressed, and wondering where the day went.
The truth? Multitasking is killing your flow—and your productivity. But what if you could break the cycle, focus deeply, and actually enjoy your work again? That’s where Centered comes in.
Why Multitasking Destroys Flow
We’ve all heard that multitasking is a myth, but most of us still do it. The science is clear: every time you switch tasks, your brain pays a “switching cost.” You lose focus, make more mistakes, and take longer to finish even simple jobs. For developers and makers, this is especially painful—deep work requires long stretches of uninterrupted concentration.
But in today’s world, distractions are everywhere. The result? Shallow work, unfinished projects, and a constant feeling of being behind.
