About this listen

Multitasking is a myth—and for busy physician and executive moms, it’s a dangerous one. In this episode of Single Mom MD, Dr. Gail Clifford shares why focus and presence matter more than juggling tasks, how to retrain your brain for single-tasking, and three practical mindset shifts you can use today to boost productivity and reclaim calm.

You’ll learn:

  • Why multitasking sabotages performance (and what science really says).
  • Real-life examples of chaos vs. calm for busy moms.
  • Three practical ways to anchor yourself in the present moment.
  • How single-tasking leads to better outcomes at work and at home.


And you can get started with some Genius Tips for how to set yourself up for a great work week. ⁠⁠Here⁠⁠ are things to schedule on whatever you consider your "Sunday" to do just ⁠⁠⁠⁠that⁠⁠⁠⁠!
