People play with the IDEA OF MULTI-TASKING and are even proud to describe themselves as MULTI-TUSKERS.
Truth is that if they do TWO THINGS ( or even more) at the same time, they can not allow 100% focus on both things at the same time and "both things" will suffer from that basic lack of focus. How many times you don't remember what you actually ate recently? why? because you were busy talking on your phone while eating.
The faster route to great achievement is
- choose a goal
- start to take action towards the goal
- first action is to choose the strategy / your to do list
- second action is to break down each coming activity into smaller activities
- last action: do each smaller activity at its time. Stay focused on the smaller activities and don't let any distractions.
- plan rests time, planning time, evaluation / feedback time as an activity and when the time comes: just rest, just plan, just measure and get feedback and don't any distractions.
DO ONE THING AT A TIME - Keep moving and you will ARRIVE
