MULTITASKING IS A MYTH
A time management workshop and keynote on focus, attention, and achieving better results.
Multitasking throughout the day
Most employees spend their entire day multitasking:
At work, many people have multiple screens open with different projects.
In between, they quickly send a WhatsApp message or like photos on Facebook.
Colleagues walk in, adding more distraction.
Between emails and phone calls, they squeeze in a grocery list and catch up on the latest news.
At the end of the day, they get into their car, exhausted.
And the work isn’t finished.
Not because they’re doing too little, but because they’re doing everything at once.
What it delivers
More calm. Fewer mistakes. Work that actually gets done.

Why multitasking doesn’t work
Multitasking may seem efficient, but it actually works against you.
In this time management workshop and keynote “Multitasking Is a Myth,” participants experience what really happens when you constantly switch tasks and why working with greater focus leads to better results.
WOUTER HESSELING
Wouter Hesseling developed the concept ‘Multitasking Is a Myth’ based on years of hands-on experience, literature, and conversations with scientists from institutions such as the University of Amsterdam, VU University Amsterdam, and Utrecht University.
After studying Medical Biology and graduating from the Academy of Physical Education, he worked for many years as a performer and trainer, gaining unique insight into hundreds of organizations in the Netherlands and abroad.
Everywhere, he observed the same pattern: people trying to do everything at once—and becoming less effective as a result.
This became the foundation for a workshop and keynote in which participants experience what multitasking does to their attention, and what changes when they work with greater focus.
An interactive workshop and keynote that shows what happens when you stop doing everything at once.
