How To Multitask – The GenY Way
With the sheer amount of information and relationships we have to deal with I’d say ‘hyperactive’ be a very appropriate word to describe our generation. And with hyperactivity comes a great deal to juggle in our life – so how to handle it?
By redefining the word “multitasking”. Instead of doing multiple tasks at once, do multiple tasks sequentially. Think about it this way:
We have two eyes to focus on an object;
We have two ears to place a voice;
We have two feet to take one step forward;
And We have two hands to hold our child.
Just because we like to think we can do more things at once in reality it’s not in our nature.
So next time you feel overwhelmed remember only one thing is ever at the top of a list of priorities. Others will remember a job well done long after the wait.
