“Even multitasking, that prized feat of modern-day office warriors, turns out to be a myth. Scientists now know that the brain is incapable of paying attention to two things at the same time. What looks like multitasking is really switching back and forth between multiple tasks, which reduces productivity and increases mistakes by up to 50 percent.”

“The downside to working from certainty is that the more certain we are about what we’re doing, the more we tend to achieve similar results over and over again.

― Yonatan Levy, The Other Ideas: Art, Digital Products, and the Creative Mind

“By remaining in the realm of uncertainty, we might just find an interesting new path leading to our desired destination—one we never would’ve found while driving on the main road.”
― Yonatan Levy, The Other Ideas: Art, Digital Products, and the Creative Mind
