一次只做一件事，是一门被遗忘的本事
We live in an age that quietly celebrates doing many things at once. We answer messages during meetings, listen to podcasts while cooking, and glance at our phones mid-conversation. Multitasking feels efficient, even virtuous. Yet a growing body of evidence suggests it is one of the great illusions of modern life.
我们生活在一个悄悄推崇「一心多用」的时代。我们在开会时回消息，做饭时听播客，聊天聊到一半瞟一眼手机。多任务处理让人感觉高效，甚至有点了不起。然而越来越多的证据表明，它其实是现代生活最大的错觉之一。
The brain does not truly do two demanding things simultaneously. Instead, it switches rapidly between them, and each switch carries a hidden cost. Attention must disengage from one task, reorient, and rebuild its focus on the next. Do this hundreds of times a day and the small losses accumulate into a persistent, low-grade exhaustion we rarely trace to its source.
大脑其实并不能同时真正完成两件费神的事。它只是在两者之间飞快地切换，而每一次切换都藏着代价：注意力必须先从一件事上抽离，重新定向，再在下一件事上重建专注。一天做上几百次，这些微小的损耗便累积成一种挥之不去的、说不清源头的低度疲惫。
