Why do just one thing when you can do two or three in parallel? Multitasking is everywhere, especially in the workplace, where it is a common criterion to assess employees\u2019 performance. Corporate superheroes are meant to juggle with contemporaneous tasks; they can attend a meeting while answering emails on their smartphones and scribbling notes for tomorrow\u2019s business plan discussion. Their superpower: ubiquity, or being in multiple places doing multiple things at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-emperor-isnt-wearing-anything-at-all\"><\/span>The emperor isn&rsquo;t wearing anything at all<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s now debunk that myth. Multitaskers would like to believe that they are everywhere but the truth is that they are actually nowhere at all. Multitasking is just a pretentious cover name for attention disorder.

Let\u2019s look at concrete steps one can take to stop being a multitasking sacrificial victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Don\u2019t read emails all the time.<\/b> <\/span>This is one of my favorite tips by Tim Ferriss in <a href=\"http:\/\/fourhourworkweek.com\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Four-Hour Workweek<\/a>. If you read your emails as they reach your inbox, you\u2019ll clutter your day with dozens of micro-interruptions and will never get into a smooth productivity stride. Stop believing that answering emails like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lJUunbOqJ90\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">playing ping pong<\/a> makes you a king of efficiency. It means instead you\u2019re idle or easily distracted. Tim Ferriss pushes it to once a week! Feel free to start with two or three batches per day. If you\u2019re afraid of missing a life-or-death email from your boss, you can compromise and check headlines \/ senders\u2019 name more regularly. This applies not only to emails but also to digital junk in general. Apps like Freedom can help you block digital distractions.<\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Do things by batches.<\/b> <\/span>Actually, what we just said for emails applies to everything. Focus on one thing at a time and deal with it without interruptions (this is called&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Timeboxing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>time boxing<\/em><\/a>). Do it steadily for 25 minutes, then take a 3- to 5-minute break to rest your brain -grab a banana, have a chat, drink water, relax- and you\u2019re good to go again. This is a time management method called the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pomodoro_Technique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pomodoro technique<\/a>. You have plenty of apps available if you want to try it out (<a href=\"http:\/\/appcrawlr.com\/ios-apps\/best-apps-pomodoro-timer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iPhone<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/appcrawlr.com\/app\/search?go=go&amp;q=pomodoro+timer&amp;device=android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Android<\/a>).<\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Do different things, not at the same time. <\/b><\/span>We\u2019re not saying you shouldn\u2019t be involved in multiple activities. On the contrary, we believe that having various hobbies \/ personal goals is essential to building a rich and balanced life. Just keep your focus, involve yourself fully, one thing at a time. It\u2019s a matter of tempo. Your brain feels saturated with all the work you\u2019ve done today? Go for a run, or meditate, then get back to it refreshed. Optimize your time by assembling your activity bricks wisely (blog post on that specific topic coming soon).<\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Give people your full attention.<\/b> <\/span>When you multitask while interacting with someone else, you send them a strong message that you are not focused on what they are telling you. They will feel disrespected; they may disengage, and will not open up. You will end up losing their trust and\/or interest.<\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Don\u2019t eat at your desk.<\/span> <\/b><\/span>This one is a personal one! Despite spending years working in finance in the City of London, I could never understand why someone would try to eat and work at the same time. You\u2019re going to do poor work, you\u2019re not going to enjoy your food or the mental benefits of a lunch break reboot, and you will grease your keyboard &#8211; gross!<\/li><li><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>The exceptions that prove the rule.<\/b> <\/span>If two activities don\u2019t clash and don\u2019t tap into the same resources, feel free to do them together! Personally, I love to sing while driving and watch movies while cycling on my home trainer.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it for now.
