Multi-Tasking is a Myth

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

You can’t do two things at once.  If you try, it’s not multi-tasking, it’s multi-switching.

You think about one thing for 15 seconds, switch to a different thought, wasting time and focus in the switch, and think about the next thing for a bit, before switching back or to a third thing.

You can’t do good work this way.  You will drop balls and make mistakse.

To do the best work and the most work, do one thing at a time until it’s done.

Make “ mistakse”

Lol that was funny Larry ! I know you did that on purpose for our benefit.

Loved the ‘mistakse’ – giggle, giggle! Have a great non-multi-tasking Monday.

One exception to this multi-switching guideline: cooking/meal prepping!

I’m old school and make lists at work and at home. Cross each one off upon completion. It works great. Happy 4th Larry!
