For so long it’s seemed like the ability to multitask has been regarded as a great skill, but is it really a good thing? Recovering from burn-out, one of the effects I noticed was that it was harder to concentrate, and especially tricky trying to focus on many things at once. I’d try to multitask, only to realise that all tasks suffered from lack of capacity to complete any one of them.

Today my housemate took this picture of me sat on our very lovely and extremely comfy sofa in the lounge. One really good thing about this house is that it’s nice and warm.
