Imagine--researching online for a paper, while instant messaging, checking facebook, googling, and listening to streaming music at the same time. Hmmmm...I know we all multitask, but we shouldn't kid ourselves by thinking we're able to do more when we're really doing less.supermomdoesn'texisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318220206354774910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-27268509227306970952013-02-12T18:14:45.102-05:002013-02-12T18:14:45.102-05:00I multitask regularly, but I've learned that i...I multitask regularly, but I've learned that it's not always a good thing. Laundry and talking on the phone - yes. Writing and talking on the phone, not so much. :) Thanks for the info, Kendra. Good things to think about!

There are certain things that just aren't getting done, and I need to tell myself that it's okay to not be such a multi-tasker. In fact, some days it's best for my children if I just focus on one thing: them :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-31465730312968319902013-02-12T00:09:13.198-05:002013-02-12T00:09:13.198-05:00Lately, work has required me to multi-task to the ...Lately, work has required me to multi-task to the extent that I feel like a clone of myself. Or something. It doesn't always work as well as I'd like. I make more mistakes (most of them little ones, thank goodness). But I do think I've learned to switch focus better than I used to. I frequently check email while I'm writing, for example, and am able to go back and forth fairly well without losing much time. Maybe that's the "up" side of it.Peggy Harkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606792382935763886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-83830128757142065872013-02-10T10:47:52.919-05:002013-02-10T10:47:52.919-05:00I have a bad habit of multi-tasking.

I...I've always felt I was bad at multi-tasking. I would much rather focus on one big project, and do it exclusively for however long it takes, and then move on to the next big thing. I've felt it makes me an "all or nothing" type, but I feel more productive that way. I can see big projects being completed after a (period of time), rather than parceling out six different projects over the course of months. It takes a while to get a handle on a big project, and piddly little time slots of half a day or less just don't work for me, even if they do come around once a week or so. Right now, I'm working on only two big projects: getting my rooms painted (and cleaning out all cupboards/closets)in the newly-painted rooms, and, during my "I'm so tired I can't move" moments, I'm working on my blog posts for the A-Z challenge, and that is ALL I'm trying to do. My brain can't hold the thought of writing or an agent search in addition, or even reading the Golden Heart contest entries. They've been back-burnered until next week.
