My Biggest Pet Peeve - MULTITASKING
Do you multitask?
"I think people who multitask pay a huge price." - Charlie Munger
Boy oh boy does multitasking get under my skin. Why does it you ask? Because when people are multitasking they are not giving focus to any of the tasks they are doing at the moment. I use to "multitask" and think I am being productive or that I can multitask like I am some special being. What I found is when you multitask you do everything half as good. There is no way you or me can do 2 different things simultaneously and do them great, exactly how they should, in the max amount of time it would if you were only do that one thing.
I've noticed that when I try to do something while people are talking to me, my focus is terrible and I can't really comprehend completely what the person is saying to me. Why it is my pet peeve is because so many people do this when you talk to them. They play with there phones, they watch something while you speak and so on. Now when I am talking to you, I know you are not listening completely and this is disrespectful to me as I don't want to have a one way conversation.
So many of my closest family and friends are stuck in believing they can multitask and that is the only way they want to perform daily. This hinders your progress of all goals, tasks, and being present in the moments.
Focus on one thing, complete it as best as you can and then move on to the next one. You will complete tasks faster, retain information better, and overall progress way faster than if you were multitasking everyday.

lol, but seriously I completely agree. multi tasking is a huge drag on productivity.
Lol! Awesome!
Great piece. I'll have to reduce my multitasking so I could get more from whatever I do
Right on! Glad you enjoyed!
Completely agree, but it's one I struggle with sometimes. Sometimes I am doing so much and try to do everything at once🐙.
All about training that mind to do what you want. Once you do one thing at a time with complete focus you see how much more beneficial it is. Once that awareness really kicks in, you won't turn back to the other way.
You are right, and that's why I focus on mind development as it's the key to so much!
100% it is everything.
good job friends
