Get Focused and Stop Multi-Tasking!

Guilty! 

I know that we all can get caught up with too many things on our plate, especialy with social media to keep our attention (addiction?) 

It is important to shut that stuff down some times and just WORK!

Kathi, I think people can only focus well on 2 or 3 things at one time. I see many of us trying to do too many. good post.

Kathy, you are right that a person needs to prioritize their work day.  One agent asked me a long while back, why don't you come into the office every day?  I replied, I have work to do, and don't have the time to socialize all day long.  We were the producers, and he sold one home that year.

I usually eat breakfast, drink coffee and read AR blogs at the same time.  I am eating and drinking coffee right now!

Sometimes I will listen to a training audio while I am stuffing, addressing and stamping envelopes.

Some tasks lend themselves well to multi-tasking, but most do not.

saw your post on twitter and clicked on your link (broke rule #2) came over to check it out - oh snap, now what was I supposed to be working on again? ;) yes - agreed let's stay focused (or try to!) - thanks for sharing

Kathy......My husband has been telling me this for years - now you tell me he's right!  Darn!

Hi Kathy, It's so easy to get distracted these days.  Too many temptations.  I will remember your suggestions.

This is totally me. You should see me when I'm at home trying to clean. I start on something and then see something else that needs to be done and before you know it I'm off on another project.

Kathy this is something I teach all the time. I see so many agents - do this, do that, go there, and wonder why nothing gets done in a timely manner. Focus on the project on hand and it will get done quicker, smarter and better!

Those are some hard habits to break and I have been doing better at not going away from one thing to do another, but I know I still have a long way to go until I'm fully not multitasking. I'm still going to write my posts while driving with voice recognition software, you aren't going to break me of that one.
