Multitasking – Just say no

My definition of multitasking:

The ability to perform many tasks poorly at the same time.

Everyone wants us to multitask. We want to multitask in order to get more things done. However, since you are not concentrating on any single thing, you wind up not doing as good of a job as you wanted to on not just one, but several tasks.

This happened to me this weekend. It was a swift kick to the morale and as a result I wound up not doing anything productive. That’s a bad cycle to get stuck in.

Small related and grouped tasks lead to finished tasks. And finished tasks means you got something done, which means you took care of business.
