Do you think multi-tasking guarantee that more things get done?
I certainly think it gets a lot of things started, but does it always get everything done in a timely matter? I'm not so sure.
Please read this very short article: Does Multi-tasking Kill Your Focus and Productivity?
The author of the article above, Alyssa Gregory, claims 4 advantages to multi-tasking:
1) She needs to multi-task because it enables her to get a lot done.
2) Multi-tasking energizes her and keeps her from getting bored.
3) It makes her realize and become aware of her priorities
4) It makes her feel good
Do you agree or disagree with her arguement? Why?Having said that, I should point out that sometimes I avoid multitasking, for example, when I am writing and editing. While I am a multitasker at heart there are times when it’s not productive. And that’s when I go into my sole-focus mode.
Plus, I would have to say that multitasking is probably not efficient and productive for everyone. In fact, I agree that it can be dangerous if you tend to get overly stressed, distracted by having too much going on, and unable to dedicate enough attention to the task at hand to do it successfully.
But, for me, I will continue to multitask and enjoy every second of it.
Are you a multitasker? Do you think it makes you more or less productive?
