Part of this balanced breakfast Trouble Brewing is based on a neurological assessment called the Cooking Breakfast Task, which challenges the user to prepare a meal with the goal of having everything ready to serve at the same time. Substitute bacon and eggs with coffee drinks and you can see how Trouble Brewing challenges your planning and divided attention. | |
|  The key to the game: "switch cost" Your "switch cost" is the time spent switching between each of your tasks. In Trouble Brewing, it's the time spent switching from making new orders to checking in on cups that are almost full.
What separates the amateur multitaskers from the experts? Expert multitaskers know how to minimize the amount of switching needed! More on that below. | |
|  For Trouble Brewing and real life: chunking "Chunking" is a cognitive technique for grouping similar tasks together, enabling you to reduce the number of times you switch tasks. The less switching, the more tasks you can complete. Here's how chunking can help you with Trouble Brewing: | |
- Start drinks of the same size together so that each cup will fill up around the same time.
- Instead of mentally switching between different ingredients, chunk drinks by ingredient and then fill them in succession.

Real-world chunking tip: Schedule blocks of time to focus on sets of similar to-dos — like reserving time at the end of your day for email. Blocking out unrelated tasks helps avoid the switch cost of checking it throughout the day. | | |
