moniprosessista

Moniprosessista is a neologism used in Italian-language discourse to describe a person who follows or advocates single-process or single-task processing. The term combines mono- meaning one, process- from processo, and the suffix -ista, which denotes a practitioner or advocate. Although not yet part of standard dictionaries, it appears in contemporary discussions on productivity, software design, and cognitive science to refer to an approach that prioritizes a single task at a time.

In practice, a moniprosessista favors sequential workflows, focusing on one process step before starting another, and seeks to reduce cognitive load, interruptions, and switching costs. In computing, the concept aligns with single-threaded execution; in organizational contexts, it underpins monotasking, time-blocking, and deep-work strategies intended to improve concentration and throughput.

Usage of the term remains informal and relatively niche. It is primarily found in blogs, opinion pieces, and design or productivity discussions rather than in formal linguistic or technical standards. Related terms include monotasking, single-tasking, and single-threaded processing.
