In this episode of The Navy SEAL Mindset, I bust the myth that we can multitask effectively. Distractions make us weak. I explain why there's no such thing as multitasking, using the intense focus required in a gunfight as an analogy.

SEALs must master three skills - shoot, move, communicate. You can't do them simultaneously and excel. I share how senior leaders must train their replacement and get in the arena to lead from the front. Give your full attention or none at all.

The bottom line is you have to do one thing at a time and do it very well. Set aside distractions and be fully present. Whether at home, work, or in a gunfight, focus on the task at hand. Don't believe you can multitask - it's arrogant and ineffective. Strive to do less but better.
