Peter_Schlumbohm._Coffee_Maker,_Designed_1941Dear Humans,

The other morning I was making oatmeal and trying to brew pourover coffee at the same time. The oatmeal boiled over and while I was trying to clean that up and thinking about impossibility of multi-tasking, I forgot about the coffee and overextracted it.

Now, that wasn’t such a big deal. I just added some extra cream. But it further convinced me that it’s impossible to do more than one thing at a time.

I think we multi-task because we fear we’re not enough. And, if we do just a little bit more, then we’ll prove ourselves. But, the truth is that if we bring everything we have to a task, it will always be enough.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
