TRY SINGLE TASKING

-

Doing a few things at once may feel like the only way to get things done, but multi-tasking o en backfires, as your brain doesn’t know where to focus. You use a lot of energy switching from one thing to another, which means you lose efficiency. So to help yourself stay focused, set yourself an alarm for 10 minutes, with the challenge to not switch your focus until it goes off. Those few minutes may be all it takes for you to find your flow, become absorbed in what you’re doing, and then stick with that one task until you have it all wrapped up.
