in our multitasking world, single tasking day, february 22, asks us to stop trying to do everything and instead get one dang thing done and off the list.

however, if your new one-thing-at-a-time habit can’t be built in one day, fortunately, february is also national time management month, so we can also go into the pomodoro technique.

why february, you may ask? nationaltoday.com explains, “february is the perfect month to take stock of your time management skills and check if they align with your new year’s resolutions and goals.”

fortunately, there are tools to help us find our way in this day of never-ending deadlines and internet rabbit holes of time suckage.
