Avoid multitasking

It is becoming common to multitask in daily life. You may not even realize you are doing it, but if you’re picking up kids from school while chatting on the phone and figuring out when to make an appointment is multitasking.

Although it sounds like a wonderful strategy to do a lot, some scientists have questioned this. You may not be as good at multitasking as you would like to believe, according to studies. One reason is that the brain is not designed for handling many tasks at once. What you are actually doing is switching from one task to another. Therefore, you are unable to focus fully on any of those tasks as a result. You could find that you can focus better on each task if you have the chance to concentrate on one at a time.
