Single Tasking Day

You may have been praised for your multitasking skills, but have you ever tried single tasking i.e. doing only one thing at a time? The made-up holiday clearly wants to encourage people to devote all their time and energy on accomplishing one task at a time. Did You Know... that according to research only about 2% of people can effectively multitask? 

Recent studies have shown that multitasking - the ability to focus on more than one task at any given time- can be less effective and productive than previously thought. Multitasking can also decrease the accuracy of certain tasks. This is because when one shifts from one task to another, the brain needs time to change focus. This can lead to a waste of time and can cause a lot of stress. Time management can also become an issue for multitaskers.

Increase Accuracy and Productivity: experts suggest that the best way to accomplish something well is to direct all of one's energy and time on the task. Single tasking increases engagement and helps reduce errors. 

My day started

With me organizing the gifts

For the Feb and March events.

I did need to run out

And grab some extra loot bags,

So I got the car washed 

At the same time.

Back to it

I finished and boxed up

All the gifts and logged what was left.

I did some computer work,

And then John was up.

He did some yard work in the sunshine,

Then we decided to bbq!!!

I ran out and grabbed some

Fresh buns and ground beef.

Naturally 

That was when we realized 

The propane was empty!

Arrrrrgggghhh

I was not giving in...

I ran out to fill the tank.

Supper was absolutely delicious.

Some table chatter

And clean up 

Then got John back to bed.

He got home kinda late this morning

So he only got 4 hours sleep.

By 8:30pm the house was clean

Bread in breadmaker

And bread pudding prepped for tomorrow.

I am grabbing some snacks

And watching some tv for a bit.

Tomorrow is supposed to be +8!!!!

Good night from John Street
