The Art of Multi-tasking

Doing many things at once doesn’t seem too ideal . Mistakes can occur often so why is this ability so desired by businesses. Multi-tasking is used in two aspects of life — social and work. In the social aspect of life it’s socially acceptable to make a mistake ,but not so much in the work aspect of life. Multi-tasking in the workplace is desirable. The ability to perform many tasks and get the job done is one thing ,but being able to manage the workload is another. This is what employers look for when they say a candidate for the position must have strong multi-tasking skills. When multi-tasking, things get completed in a more timely fashion. To be good at multi-tasking is to be successful. Mastering this skill may take some time ,but in the end it will all be worth it.

When applying for jobs you may have noticed that the ability to multi-task is a required skill. This is definitely a skill I need to work on. Many people will say they’re great at multi-tasking ,but then they become easily distracted by the slightest changes. The key to mastering the art of multi-tasking is focus. Without focus, multi-tasking is almost impossible. In order to multi-task you have to be able to focus on multiple things simultaneously. By the end of this project I plan to know all there is to know about multi-tasking from “How to maximize multi-tasking?” to “Why this is such a great skill to have?”.

Throughout the course of this project I plan to observe others multi-tasking, while doing this I will be multitasking as well. Other than this, I will practice multi-tasking on my own in the social aspect of my life. The overall observations of multi-tasking for this project will be from both the social and working aspects of life.
