E24 The MultiTasking MYTH |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz “What looks like multitasking is really switching back and forth between multiple tasks, which reduces productivity and increases mistakes by up to 50 percent.” - Susan Cain Picture this … you are concentrating and only trying to “do” the task in front of you. But you catch yourself thinking in the back of your mind about all the things you should accomplish today, or this week, and you are unconsciously trying to mentally accomplish them all at once. This habit is particularly insidious because it is seldom recognized for what it is … multitasking. The truth is we can only do one thing at a time. Realizing this and fully convincing ourselves of this simple and obvious truth, enables us to mentally stop trying to do the things that come next and to concentrate all our awareness and all of our responsiveness on the one thing we are doing now. When we work with this attitude we are relaxed and free from feeling anxiety. Most importantly, we are able to concentrate and think at our best!
