Webinar: The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to do Everything Better, featuring author Thatcher Wine

**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone**

This Wellness session is designed to help you be more focused, less stressed, more productive, and a lot happier.  Take back control of your focus, productivity, and well-being with The Twelve Monotasks by Thatcher Wine. Studies have shown that multitasking reduces efficiency and increases errors, while focusing on one task at a time produces superior results. Our brains are programmed to best focus on one thing at a time; call it monotasking, mindfulness, or being present, the idea is to be wholly absorbed in an activity. When we fully devote ourselves to something like reading, listening, or going for a walk, it can be a transformative experience.

This webinar is presented by the FBA’s Professional Development Committee.

While defending the place of printed books in our culture for the past twenty years, Thatcher has also sought to reinvent their creative potential. He has spoken widely about books and libraries including a TED Talk called “The Books We Keep, the Stories We Tell.” Thatcher’s monotasking philosophy took shape as he grew Juniper Books and weathered numerous personal challenges, including a life-threatening cancer diagnosis. From a childhood in the restaurant business to the rise and fall of his internet startup in his twenties, Thatcher’s experiences have informed and refined his ideas on living with focus and purpose. Thatcher graduated from Dartmouth College with a degree in History and Art History. He made a brief appearance in the world of investment banking, then truly began his career as a strategy consultant with Monitor Company. In the early days of the Internet, he served as Director of Business for US Interactive (formerly Digital Evolution) helping many pioneering businesses establish their Internet presence. In 1999, he raised venture capital and launched Feedback Direct, a portal for consumers to obtain customer service from thousands of companies. Thatcher has long been an innovator in the world of books and design. Departures magazine called him “the man who brought back the library.” He is in the inventor of custom book jackets (US Patent No. 9349308) and he is a frequent collaborator with many of the world’s leading interior designers, architects, real estate developers, visual merchandisers, and hospitality brands.
