Stop Multitasking and do and BE more!
ByThe secret to doing more is, well, doing less.
Multitasking may seem the only way to get through your to-do list,
but research from the University of Michigan shows that when we
think we’re multitasking, often we’re simply ricocheting between
two tasks, forcing the brain to keep refocusing with each rebound —
and reducing productivity by 20% to 40%.
“Attempting to multitask is one of the single greatest ways to
undermine productivity, work quality and quality of life,” writes
author and motivational speaker Deanna Davis.
To help kick a multitasking habit:
Wait.Hold off on checking e-mail for two hours. Set a timer to regulate
yourself.
Create deadlines. This is important even on small projects. Plan your day
in blocks, placing the most important tasks first.
Take breaks. Giving your mind an occasional rest will help you focus when
you need to.
Keep a to-do list. If your mind wanders to another obligation, write it
down so you know you won’t forget it, then return to the task at hand.
