Success Tip: FOCUS
Every time you switch tasks, allow yourself to be interrupted or try to multi-task, you’re losing time. Remember, time is the one resource that is NOT in abundance, nor can it be replenished. Multi-tasking feeds our desire for an adrenaline rush, making us think we’re more efficient when studies show we actually lose more time than we gain.
Think of it this way: if you lose a minimum of 3 (closer to 7!) minutes every time you multi-task, and you multi-task a modest 10 times per day, you’ve just cost yourself a full 30 minutes of time.
Ouch!
Better to enjoy the feeling of focusing. You’ll get more done and will be more relaxed as a result, making you happier, more at peace. . . not to mention keeping your sanity!
