Working alone is easier than working with others. Because I am working alone, I can focus my efforts specifically on the project. If I were to work with a partner, I would have to waste a large amount of time and effort trying to coordinate with a partner because of social distractions, the need to share information, and having to plan the project together. Planning the project together is especially difficult because I could have conflicting views with a partner, and we may want to pursue different ideas. Working with others would cause many unnecessary complications and would likely slow my project’s progress down.
