In today’s busy world people are left running this way and that way attempting to get things done. The ability to multitask is something we all will have to know. Here are a few things I have come across to keep in mind when trying to sort out your hectic and seemingly bottomless things to accomplish by this afternoon.
1. Don't think you can actually do two things at once.
2. Prioritize. To know when to switch tasks, you must distinguish between the tasks you must perform and those you can afford to blow off.
3. Immerse yourself in your immediate task, but don't forget what remains to be done next.
4. Depend on routines -- and compare new tasks with old ones. Multitasking becomes easier, scientists believe, when you make parts of the process routine.
5. Make schedules, not to-do lists.
Next time you feel like exploding on the person in the next cubicle for making more work for you just give them this list and tell them you have no excuses now.
