The Trick to Accomplishing More and Staying On Top of Everything
We often think that more time and more opportunity means we have to get everything done all at once. At GenM, we usually get the question: “Can I take on multiple apprenticeships?”
With the array of talented business owners on GenM, it understandable to want to work with as many as you can. Although we want you to fulfill everything you had in mind about gaining more experience in marketing, we also want to make sure that you are set up for success correctly.
To start taking advantage of the GenM platform, we suggest working on one apprenticeship first. Introduce yourself to the business and ask what they are looking for. If it matches what you have in mind, then you can sign the labor contract and discuss the schedule with your mentor.
It may seem ironic to start with just one apprenticeship, but eventually, it’ll help you accomplish more and stay on top of things.
Why start one thing at a time?
The power of doing only one thing is that it helps you create focus. Eventually, you can channel that focus on other tasks that lead to mastery. This will also help you avoid dabbling into so many things without finishing anything.
Focus lets you determine the most efficient work process. It can help you achieve results as fast as when trying to do so many things at once.
More importantly, if you focus on one apprenticeship first, you’ll learn how to do your tasks better and faster. If you develop the right flow and mastery, then you can have more room to try out a new apprenticeship.
Doing so many things — processing or computing — can be harmful. As backed by science, multitasking damages you more. When you do one thing at a time, you can avoid being overwhelmed. Usually, when we try to accommodate as many things as possible, we end up getting paralyzed or fatigued on what to do next. You don’t have to do everything to succeed. Focus on one thing at a time so you can avoid the negative thought patterns.
At GenM, we want you to succeed, and that also means mastering one skill, one business at a time.
