Wow, I always thought multi tasking was one of my talents.  I did not stop to think it might be hindering me.  It makes sense when you think about it, but in real estate I think we have to be able to multi task to a point.

Via Kathy Schowe (The Lori Bowers Group):

GET FOCUSED AND STOP MULTI-TASKING!

 

Do you pride yourself on your MULTI-TASKING skills?  Are you the consumate plate-spinner... deal juggler with many balls in the air at the same time?  You may be undermining your productivity by jumping from task-to-task!

A recent study from the University of Michigan shows that multi-tasking really reduces productivity by 20% to 40%!  By constantly asking your brain to re-focus and rebound you are actually ricocheting between the 2 or 3 or 4 projects you have going!

It turns out the secret to getting more done... is to focus on the task at hand.  Get it done-- then move on.

Here are several ways to keep yourself focused and really boost your productivity:

  • Wait on checking Facebook until you have read all your e-mails...  and answered them. 
  • Don't click on links that will take you away from the task you are working on.
  • Take a break from your task-- then come back and focus.
  • Make lists of what you want to accomplish. If you think of another obligation, write it down and refocus!
  • Set a time-limit, and (if you need to... use a timer--there's one on your phone) get your task finished within the time you have set.          

So stop multi-tasking and start getting more things done!

Lori,  Thanks for the re-blog... we all are guilty of doing too much at once.  I had to remind myself several times today to keep going at the task at hand!  Kathy
