The Myth of Multitasking: How Doing It All Gets Nothing Done
Multitasking has become something of a heroic word in our vocabulary. Many executives pride themselves on their ability to “multitask”. Recent job descriptions that I have seen even ask that potential employees have the ability to multitask. A current national commercial sings the praises of multitasking. However, multitasking, as most people understand it, is deceptively counter-productive. Multitasking is tremendously costly. Multitasking hurts us every time we attempt to engage in it.
Multitask Your Way To A Shorter Life
Most of us think that having the ability to do several things is a gift or a blessing that helps up to get more done in less time. But the truth is that you can drive yourself crazy while trying to multitask and obsessing over every little problem.

Innovation, Mainstream on Different Time Schedules
CES is always great to see and immerse yourself in all of the new toys, the new potential...the fresh start! It takes us awhile to look closely (behind the curtain) as to what the year and next five years have to hold. But this past year everyone was bemoaning the fact that the U.S. was behind the curve, lost the recipe for success and the future. Look at the CES stuff and where did it come from? Everywhere! We (and we mean all we) multitask, work virtually without borders pulling the best ideas, the best talent from EVERYWHERE to create solutions, solve problems. Only governments want "bragging rights." Companies and all of the wes want products, services, capabilities to sell.

How to Stay in the Game for the Long Haul by Working in Success Cycles
My mentor taught me that by working in success cycles, you will stay in the game for the long haul. Just like nature works in seasons, there are also success cycles. There is a time to learn, a time to produce, a time to harvest and reap the rewards, and a time to rest. Most people live busy lives and try to squeeze in as many activities in the day as possible. We start the day working on one project, and then we get side tracked to do something else. A few hours later, we jump back into the same project we started with, but somehow lose the momentum and rhythm to do it. We try to multitask as much as possible. I’m not saying that we should stop multi-tasking, but sometimes we need to step back and perhaps focus on one thing at a time. We should learn how to work in success cycles.
Doing Multiple Tasks Isn't Multitasking
Multitasking...people say they do it with pride. They say their kids multitask because they're wired differently. Problem is psychologists, sociologists, people who study people say it simply isn't true. We have tons of things on our plate now -- more things than time - but it turns out we're doing multiple tasks but we can only focus on one at a time. So what we're really doing is moving from task to task in nanoseconds so it feels like all the jobs are getting done in parallel. Maybe that's why our wife says we can mess up more things in less time than anyone she knows.
