Multitasking is the art of screwing up several things at once 

Do you feel like there isn’t enough time to complete the tasks you do? And do you multitask in the belief you will complete more in a shorter space of time? If that sounds like you read on…..

Neuroscientists say that it will cost you up-to 40% of your productive time if you multitask – plus you are likely to make many mistakes compared to if you completed each thing as a single task. So not only will it actually take you longer to complete everything but what you have actually done will be – well not great!!

Figure out which of your regular tasks are most complicated, and create a distraction-free time and space for them. This goes for working on new things too.

Write a list of everything that you need to do – then prioritise what needs to be done first, second and so forth. Then act – making sure you stay focused on the one task in hand until it’s finished. The key is being aware!

We are all human so chances are you will get distracted somewhere along the line – but even if you can snatch back even 20% of the time you currently waste! Well just think what you could do with that ……
