Extreme multi-tasking. It must be an evolutionary thing for the humans who have technology. The brain just works faster. Look at how many people have it now that didn’t before. So either we take a page from the Monks and sit for long periods of time staring and focusing on one thing and learning to calm down, or we teach our bodies to move as quickly as our minds and do many things at once.
the only drawback i have to that, personally, is that there are times I am not motivated at all. They say to always end with a cliffhanger or lead in to what you want to write the next day to keep yourself going, but sometimes you can’t do that. Sometimes the story goes into a place you can’t figure out how to write yourself back out of. Have a friend to bounce ideas off of. Or just write whatever comes to mind until you can get back to the story.
