The Trouble With Multitasking
In today's paper there was an article on multitasking. It wasn't good news.
Here's an excerpt. "Americans are beginning to suspect that multitasking, which many have embraced as the key to success, is instead a formula for shoddy work, mismanaged time, rote solutions, stress and forgetfulness. Not to mention car crashes, kitchen fires, forgotten children, and other dangers of inattention."
This isn't a pretty picture. It is however a real one.
Eating, cell phoning and doing your business in the bathroom - that's the one that gets me.
So - what can you do?
Slow down, do what's important first.
Being focused is more important than being distracted.
Doing the right thing (Being effective) is better than doing a thing right (Being efficient)!
