Monotasking doesn't stop you from doing a lot of exciting projects or having a schedule that’s full, either it just requests of you to be more conscious and intentional of where you are. But when you are doing that one thing it’s important that you are fully there. I make videos, I have a podcast, I write books, I’m doing this interview with you-we all have so many things that are happening in our lives. It just means that when you’re doing something, you're only on that one thing. Monotasking doesn’t mean that you don't have a lot going on. We think that by doing a lot of things at once we are increasing our productivity, effectiveness and efficiency while the likelihood is that our productivity, effectiveness and efficiency are going to drop. But the truth of it is that most of us are in the 98%. Studies show that only 2% of the world’s population is able to multitask - and the problem is when people hear that, they think they’re in that 2%. We become more productive, more creative and more effective if we don’t multitask. Something I learned during my time as a monk is the idea of monotasking. And I thought, ‘How can I make people more aware of how to do this in a way they will remember it?” “My parents were very busy, they were both immigrants working extremely long hours, but I started to equate love and presence and energy with tea time with my mom.” When Shetty and Devlukia-Shetty got married five years ago, they started their own tea ritual-a few minutes every morning to connect over a bespoke herbal “potion” Devlukia-Shetty would blend before their days took them in different directions -and just as the pandemic hit, Shetty had a realization: “I’ve always wanted to make mindfulness, presence, stillness, wellness easier for people. “One of my earliest memories is getting picked up from school by mom and we’d have a cup of tea and she’d ask me how my day was,” says Shetty, 34, who just launched Sama, a line of four adaptogenetic teas, with his wife, Radhi Devlukia-Shetty. Shetty-a business school grad-turned-monk who has leveraged his motivational speeches and self-help philosophies into a coaching career that has attracted CEOs, celebrities, and millions of people who seek weekly guidance from his YouTube channel, podcasts, and speaking events-has logged on to drop some knowledge about yet another way you, too, can be mindful and stay present: drinking tea. “That’s so awesome,” Shetty says with a laugh, flashing a warm smile across our shared Zoom screen. I first learned about Jay Shetty about five years after he launched his mission to “make wisdom go viral,” via an extremely credible source: Jennifer Ansiton. From mantras to meditation, mindfulness to manifestation, Well Intentioned offers an intimate look at how to make space for self-care in meaningful ways, big and small.
