The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

Our founder & CEO, Thatcher Wine, does a lot of thinking and writing about books and reading! He has now written two books:  For the Love of Books: Designing and Curating a Home Library (with Elizabeth Lane) and The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better. The Twelve Monotasks includes a chapter on Reading. Thatcher's thoughts about reading and why it's good for us as a monotask, is really how the book started! Studies have shown that multitasking reduces efficiency and increases errors, while focusing on one task at a time produces superior results. Our brains are programmed to best focus on one thing at a time; call it monotasking, mindfulness or being present, the idea is to be wholly absorbed in an activity. When we fully devote ourselves to something like reading, listening or going for a walk, it can be a transformative experience.  All orders will be signed by Thatcher.
