The Second Monotask To Follow — Walking

Walking is a healthy monotask which can help us improve your lifestyle

In the technology-driven world, we are forced, in many cases, to multitask. Is Multitasking good for our mind? Well, absolutely not. In his book The Twelve Monotasks, Thatcher Wine elaborately explains the importance of monotasking. I have covered the first monotask, “Reading” here. Now the next monotask is Walking.

Walking:

Walking, as you all know, is good health. Nowadays, we bump into someone or something while constantly scrolling through the phone in hand. I especially stopped the enjoy the environment in which I walked. The rustling of autumn leaves, the distant echo of a train, or an infrequent cry of a baby in a stroller due to my concentration on my phone, I have missed out on a lot of these tiny beauties around me.

No Multitasking:

As everyone knows, walking is good for one’s health. Thatcher Wine emphasizes the same in his walking monotask. He also adds that waking would lead you to connect your body and mind. Walking is the ideal time for thought process and the best place for decision making. The most crucial part is that one shouldn’t multitask while monotask walking. I used to hear Audible books while I walked. I have reduced it nowadays and concentrate only on walking and letting my thoughts wander.

Thatcher Wine points out that we should make the walking experience joyful and something to look forward to. We can find a partner for the walk and make it more enjoyable. Waking will make you connect to your inner self. So from today, you should include a short 20-minute monotask walk around the block. It will be like a meditation.
