Multitasking Should Be Outlawed
Relaxation Tip for Thursday, July 12
OK, well maybe not outlawed but somethings got to be done. All this
multitasking, shmultitasking is having a very stressful effect on people's
work and
lives.
The very fact that we have a word for the practice of doing many things at
once should tell you that the conflict between "doing" and "being" is more
powerful
than ever.
We eat lunch while returning emails, we chat on the phone while reviewing
reports, we practice our golf swing while sending a fax.
All this juggling can get easily out of hand. It will be hard to stop cold
turkey, but you can slowly and gradually reclaim your life.
1- Start by noticing how many tasks you are doing at any given moment.
2- Ask yourself which task is the most important and which is the least
important.
3- Get rid of the task that is on the lower end of the food chain. Even if
it means not listening to your favorite talk show host while doing business,
or telling someone that you will call them back later to discuss Macy's shoe
sale.
4- Once again pay attention to what you are doing and realize that you are
getting done what you want done in a more concentrated, constructive and
relaxed
manner.
5- Congratulations! Now go run down to Macy's and get yourself a pair of
shoes before the sale ends.
Thank you,
