Get More Done Effortlessly
This parenting moment relates to work, so I thought I would share it here. 👩 👶
The other night, I went into my daughter's room. She was doing homework, but she also had her laptop and was watching a show. 💻
I said, “Hey, you are supposed to be doing your homework, not having screen time.” ☝️
And she said, “Mom, I’m multitasking.” 😳
This reminded me that when I got into the real world, I thought multitasking was the right thing to do. It’s just how we were supposed to go about our days. 🤷
I have mentioned a million times before that I just got burnt out with this mentality and wasn’t very productive. 🔥
Multitasking divides your brain's attention, so tasks take longer and are more exhausting.
So, if you are working on something right now and getting Slack messages, or scrolling through TikTok, close it down! 🛑
Give yourself some uninterrupted time to work on one task.
How do you ensure you focus on the tasks that need your attention the most? 👈
Gain clarity on the right next step in your career. More fulfilling work & better balance, without taking a pay cut. You don't have to sacrifice.
1yMultitasking is a myth, really...we can't multitask on what matters..sure we can do it with simple tasks like having a conversation while maybe washing dishes...but when it comes to things that require your undivided attention, they truly will take longer and you might even make mistakes if you try to do other things
