Multitasking Is A Myth. Here's a Different Strategy.

Hello everyone:



What's on your agenda this week? Work? Family? Social? Service? Personal?



Yep, me, too.



I drove to Michigan yesterday to help out a family member. I have chores to complete, errands to run, work days, a day of Board Of Education Meeting and prep, some medical stuff, a family birthday party next weekend, and the list goes on. Sound familiar?



From the outside looking in, some may say I am multitasking. But multitasking is a myth. (Sorry) What I am doing is switch-tasking. I am switching my focus all the time, sometimes moment to moment, and that can leave me feeling tired, frazzled, overwhelmed, you name it.



So I try to batch my work instead of constantly switching. This afternoon, I sat at my desk for 3 hours and tackled a project - liturgy planning for my choir at church for the next 4 months - and I completed what I needed to complete in those 3 hours. Yeah!! I completed choir stuff because I wasn't also trying to do 100 other things.



Want to know more about getting things done without abusing your brain? Read on for this week's new article, "Multi-tasking Is A Myth, Here's A Different Strategy".
