Multitasking Misinterpreted
14 August 2022
To do two things at once is to do neither.
-Publilius Syrus
- We have really misinterpreted this word a lot called 'multitasking' nowadays
- What we think of multitasking is like having lunch, together with working on a laptop on one thing, together with being in a meeting on another tab, together writing some different piece of shit on paper i.e doing multiple things at the same time
- But that's not the way the human brain functions It can focus only on one thing at a time and doing that with full focus is what is termed productivity
- Doing all the things at the same time may be, by any chance, you will be able to get things done but you can never be productive in them because it requires focus
- But multitasking is not bad instead it's misunderstood as multitasking is doing multiple things but not at the same time instead at different times of a shorter span
- Like we eat food, have a bath, sleep and work but do we call it multitasking? No, but instead it is.
- Working on multiple things at different times in a day is what multitasking means
- What computers and machines called multitasking is a different thing. Working on the various things when it's their time to be worked upon but at a time focus only on one task and try and be productive in it.
- Working on different things simultaneously will either lead to more mistakes, less accuracy or frustrates you and force you to give up on all things.
- That's where the routine and time management of the day kicks in therefore all the successful people do multiple things still manage their time and yet be productive
- How I figured it out ? had multiple things to do and was trying to work on all at the same time got frustrated and left everything except one which was a bigger decision to leave
- But ya figured it out how to approach and now divided time for each of the work still I am not productive in every one of it. but it is because of me not being able to stick to my routine.
- But at least I am at a better place than before because I am able to be productive in at least those which I manage to do because I am focusing on that task only in that particular point of time!
