Actually, I was thinking anti-multitasking thoughts throughout the day.
I really do think we are giving multitasking way more credit than it really deserves. Ok, It may fit the requirement here and there, but not always.
I conclude that it is a 'nice to have' skill and not a 'must-have skill'.
try to cut down on things that aren't important to you.
This really should be my primary focus. I think I spend too much time doing things that need not be done at all. Like how I write and keep editing it to a point where it's a completely different story altogether. The narrative gets changed and it's like rewriting the same thing 100 times.
Ahhhh.!!! Too much pain...
I have a combination ready to test... (Audiobook + Workout) It worked in past but lets see if it still holds strong. XD
I must tell you that feedback from you is the best part of my Hive experience. And you have inspired me to share this experience with others. I am checking out random posts and commenting on them. I am keeping the number to around 10 per day for now. But I am going to take them a notch up :D
If it's any consolation I think it's a lot to do with how society has been going. Like for a while there seemed to be a trend where bemoaning how exhausted you were was a badge of honour as it was "proof" that you were "productive". And then because people are cramming way too much in (because YOLO and "need to be productive every waking second" "doing anything possible to prove not lazy" whatever) "multitasking" becomes the way to cram everything and more into what time you have.
If it's a thing that comes natural then it's an amazing way of actually getting more done. If it's not or is something that you're currently working on, you may just end up feeling constantly burnt out and resentful and not actually be getting more done at best or even less at worst XD
Amusingly your ability to concentrate on one thing at a time and absorb it in its fullest is probably the goal of a lot of the people practising mindfulness.
Good luck with the audiobook + workout :D
