Mentioned on Ep 041: How to Stop Multitasking and start Solo-Focusing! Multitasking is making us stupid, do this instead! TAKE CONTROL of your day
WATCH ON YOUTUBE
Some of us like to brag that we are excellent multi-taskers. This is particularly true of women and moms.
STOP THIS.
We may be able to DO two things at the same time (multi-tasking) but we canNOT concentrate on two things at the same time (multi-focusing).
Example: Washing dishes and listening to podcast or audiobook or music
Second example: Driving a car and listening – what happens when we avoid an accident, did we need to rewind to replay the last minute?
SOLUTION: Solo-Focusing
1. Become self-aware when you are multi-tasking
2. Acknowledge you are multi-tasking
3. Transition to solo-focusing on one task at a time
Case study: Meet Katie: Nurse
It’s so busy I get confused taking care of multiple patients at once, talking to doctors, talking to pharmacists, talking to dieticians
“Realizing that focusing and multi-tasking are different was EYE opening! Who knew that acknowledging this concept could have such a profound change in my feelings towards work!”
Until next time, spark joy my friends!
