We all multitask. It's become a way of life. But, should we?
I think we'd all agree that the ability to focus is a key component in being productive regardless of the situation. By multitasking, we are deliberately unfocused.
Instead of wasting energy changing back and forth between tasks, focus 100% of your attention on one single thing. Then move on to the next. You'll be amazed at how much more productive you are. This rule goes for conversations, work, making dinner, reading, exercising and everything in between. Try it and let me know how it goes!
