To do two things at once is to do neither.

Summary

This quote implies that multitasking can lead to a lack of focus and efficiency in performing tasks. When we try to do multiple things simultaneously, our attention becomes divided, preventing us from fully engaging with either task successfully. Instead of effectively accomplishing both, we may end up performing poorly in both or not completing them at all. The quote serves as a reminder to prioritize and focus on one task at a time to maximize productivity and quality of work.
