We often think that we can get a lot more done by multitasking, But this isn't the case at all.
We spend all day wondering why we only accomplished a couple of things on our huge to-do lists.
Multitasking Isn't What You Think It Is
Multitasking is our brains switching quickly from one task to another at a rapid pace; It's not this magical thing where we think we are doing more than one thing at once. It's not like that at all.
This exhausts our brain much faster and causes us only to do a little of each task.
We Make More Mistakes
When we multi-task we are a lot more prone to mistakes, our brain is changing tasks so quickly it can keep up with the demands that we need it to; as a result, our work is much lower quality than it could be.
It Gets Less Done
Which leaves you feeling defeated, It's hard to stay motivated when you are working your butt off but not seeing any results. By focusing on one task at a time. You'll see a difference happening.
Multitasking is BAD! We have good intentions with it, but unfortunately for many of us, it doesn't get us the results we want. Next time you want to multitask instead focus on just the one thing you need done the most.
