Time Management Tip #1: Concentrate on One Thing at a Time
ItalianoStudies have shown that multi-tasking is not an effective or efficient way to save time. It’s better to concentrate on one activity and work on that until it is completed. By trying to do too many things simultaneously, you can’t adequately focus on any of them.
The fast pace of modern life makes multi-tasking an attractive option. It’s easy to be on the computer while speaking on the phone, preparing a document, paying some bills – you get the idea. We all have lots to do and the temptation to maximize our time by combining tasks is strong. But that’s not the optimum way to do it.
By focusing on the most important task and finishing whatever needs to be done before moving on, your mind can concentrate on doing a good job for that particular activity. It can be tackled, completed, and you’re then free to move to the next, devoting your attention to the work at hand. An added bonus is the quality of whatever you’re doing should be better with full attention to it.
