LIMIT MULTITASKING

LIMIT MULTITASKING; Pay more attention to value than volume.

Sure we have all heard of multitasking, and we know what it is.

First of all, let me make it clear, multitasking is a good thing; it means you have the ability to do several things at the same time. But to be honest with you, looking at it more intently, I think multitasking drops value, and it takes the full shine off something that should be glossier.

With multitasking, you’re trying to do so much, you have your hands on different pies at the same time, you have many things on your table, and you’re trying to sort them all at once, so you will put little attention on many different things, and you probably will not

do anything excellently, because it is certain you cannot do everything excellently.

Please don’t get me wrong, I am not in any way now saying that you should focus on single tasking, because single tasking is definitely too slow to make you succeed in this world that we are living in. Most certainly, in this technology driven, 21^st century world, single tasking will make you left behind, because it will be too slow.

So what do we do? It is simple; pay more attention to value. You need to identify the tasks that will create the most value, focus on them, work on them, and please pay attention to them. You need to prioritize and get your priorities right, prioritize value over volume, sharpen your focus, and tilt more towards tasks that really matter. If you do this, you will no doubt increase the quality of your work, and ultimately, you will increase the quality of the value you provide.

Try and make a “high value” or “top priority” list, so that you can know the more important things, and the tasks that do not make the list should be put on a “to do later” list, this way, you will direct your energy to more fruitful and productive tasks.

You review your “high value” or “top priority” list from time to time, and if some tasks don’t upgrade or work their way up to the “high value” or “top priority” list, then you may need to ask yourself if you need to do such tasks at all.

Multitasking is fantastic, but you need to limit it and you need to set your priorities right. Pay more attention to value than volume.

You will win.
