Have you noticed how many people place great importance on the ability to multi task?
It seems to me that it is viewed almost as a badge of honour to strive for and achieve. It seems to be viewed as the answer to the overload of tasks so many people seem to be trying to juggle.
But here’s the thing:
Multi tasking isn’t the most effective way to manage many tasks and can actually be counter productive
Do you ever have those days when despite how much you have to do you feel you just don’t want to do anything? I had one of those days yesterday. This isn’t something that happens often for me so I felt really uncomfortable with it.
It doesn’t sit well with me when people tell me I am lucky.
