As I have said before, there are some times when multitasking does work. If you’re doing things of a creative nature, problem solving or other things that require conscious thought, don’t multitask. Save multitasking for things like cleaning house or doing laundry while you talk on the phone and other low key, simple activities. Divided attention between major tasks results in less focus on each task at hand, poor results and wasted time.
Be in the habit of making the time to prioritize the things on your to-list and sticking to only 1-2 priority tasks to complete each day. Doing so will keep you on track with your tasks, increasing your level of productivity and
will keep you from wasting your precious time.
