Multi Tasking Is a Myth! -- Focus on Completing One Task at a Time!

I used to think that trying to do more than one thing at a time made me more efficient.

Very not true. It just meant I wasn't focused and didn't do any of the things well that I was trying to get done.

I know it stems from, at least in my case, being a somewhat impatient person.

And until pretty recently I was never an embrace the journey kind of person either.

When there were/are things, especially things I need(ed) to do that I didn't/don't necessarily enjoy doing I want(ed) to knock them out and get them over with as soon as possible.

But attempting to do more tasks at one time is not better.

I have learned from painful experience that it is more stressful.

Instead, I now focus on completing one task at a time.
As a result, I am present and I do a much better job and it actually takes less time.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I am not thrilled about the majors I that I chose so I tend to discount it. But it does have some value.

It's indeed a myth. A few (maybe 10, I don't exactly remember how long 😅) years ago I read some psychology articles that debunked this myth. Don't ask me which articles because I also don't remember where I read it 🙈.

Anyway, the research found that when people "multi task", they're just dividing their attention between all those different tasks, which will in itself take longer than when one would do the task one by one. It's better to fully give your attention 100% to one task and when done move over to another, etc.

Bottom line, a person's brain cannot possibly handle more than one task at a time. My husband is an engineer and during his working career, he focused on efficiency and process engineering. So he is very tuned in to doing one thing at a time. 😀
