There was recently an interesting discussion on this on HN: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=20580017" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=20580017</a><p>Honestly, while it&#x27;s all true, with the tools we are using and the endless onslaught of instant notifications, I don&#x27;t see any meaningful cultural changes possible.

Multitasking doesn&#x27;t exist. Distractions do. Deciding which is a task and which is a distraction is the only way to get anything done.
