Multitasking

For the most part, multitasking is considered a “necessary part of work” in most jobs. It seems like a good way to get a lot of tasks done and to be productive, but no matter how much we may take pride in our multitasking skills, we may not be actually as good as we think we are at multitasking.

Further, this week you’ll learn how “Doing it all gets nothing done.”

The Idea of the Week

Multitasking refers to working on two or more tasks simultaneously. When we think we’re multitasking, we may actually be rapidly switching between tasks rather than simultaneously completing the tasks. Rapidly switching between tasks can actually negatively impact our productivity, contrary to the popular opinion that multitasking is essential for productivity.

In this 6-minute article, you’ll learn How Multitasking Affects Productivity and Brain Health. The article explains how multitasking is more distracting, slows you down, impairs executive function, and makes you more likely to make mistakes. You’ll also learn how the brain functions in multitaskers.

Practice of the Week

Do you think you can multitask? Try this Multitasking Exercise (6-minute video) to find out!

Most people, most of the time, cannot multitask. We tend to perform better—and experience less stress and overwhelm—when we focus on one task at a time.

So, imagine focusing on one task at a time and steadily moving through your tasks instead of juggling many tasks all at once and rushing to get each of them done…wouldn’t you feel less rushed and stressed?

This week as you work each day, consider which task you will give your 100% today.

What will you give your 100% today? Let us know on our Instagram or Facebook page!
