Acharya Prashant addresses the question of multitasking versus focusing on a single task by stating the matter needs to be taken deeper for a resolution. He asks who the doer is, who is choosing the tasks, and what clarity they possess. He uses the analogy of driving a car, where one is constantly multitasking: looking at the road, the speedometer, handling gears, and managing pedals. This form of multitasking is acceptable because all these tasks are directed towards a single, clear destination. He describes this as being "multi-tasking" but not "multi-destined." The various tasks are like the different branches of the same tree, all originating from one trunk. He then contrasts this with another kind of multitasking, which he calls "nonsense." This occurs when a person is like a fragmented self trying to drive five different cars towards five different destinations simultaneously. This behavior stems from a lack of self-knowledge, leading to a divided and fragmented personality. He gives examples such as trying to please one's boss and wife at the same time, or having conflicting internal selves—one wanting to be a religious person who fasts, and another being a modern person who questions such practices. This internal conflict is like the branches of a tree fighting each other, which will ultimately kill the tree. Acharya Prashant concludes that the problem is not multitasking itself, but having multiple, conflicting selves. He advises to first go to the roots and let one's existence resemble a tree, fully earthed and rooted in the Self. The roots of the ego (Aham) must have a deep love for the soil (Atma/Self). From this rooted, unified self, one can branch out prolifically and multitask harmoniously, like a dance or a symphony where all movements come together in an integrated beauty. Multitasking is an imperative of life, but being a multiply-divided person with conflicting selves is not welcome.
