What I Learned About Single-Tasking from Destination Simple

One of my biggest takeaways from Destination Simple by Brook McAlary is the power of single-tasking—fully focusing on one thing at a time instead of juggling multiple tasks.

I’ve always been a multitasker, constantly switching between tasks to get more done. But as someone who is naturally driven and focused, I’ve realized that slowing down and being fully present helps me feel more grounded and intentional. This lesson has really helped me appreciate my surroundings instead of always thinking about what’s next. Even small changes—like putting my phone away while working or truly savoring my morning coffee—have made a difference.

Now, I’m making a conscious effort to embrace single-tasking by setting clear priorities, eliminating distractions, and fully immersing myself in whatever I’m doing—whether it’s a work project, a conversation, or simply a quiet moment to recharge.

Key Enjoyments I Had from Single-Tasking

  • Watching my granddaughter while sleeping in my arms and the up and down of her chest
  • Happiness when chopping herbs or making a new meal
  • How the snow stuck to the branches during the last snow
  • Seeing a deer on the side of the road waiting to cross
  • The beauty of a sunrise behind trees that are just starting to wake from a long winter's nap

Single-tasking is a blessing--I didn’t know how much I was missing being on autopilot.
