ARE YOU A GOOD MULTITASKER ?
We are not built for multitasking. We cannot multitask.
I remember once, while filling up my timesheet in the first company I worked in, one of my managers telling me that there was no way I could spend 6 hours on a single task in an 8-hour period. I spent a month trying to disprove him, I failed.
We are also apparently not built to focus. But we can always re-focus.
So the options are multi-tasking which is impossible & focus-refocus which is difficult. There is no 3rd option.
- If there is one thing all successful people have in common, it is focus
- If there is one root from which all other successful traits are offshoots of, it is focus
- If there is one attribute from this series “ABCs for Managers” which is most important, it is focus
To be successful, you need to focus on your goals
To achieve a goal, you need to focus on its tasks
To do a task well, you need to focus on that one task.
Only one task.
Focus….
