The 5 Secrets of Effective Multi-Tasking

March 18, 2009 by Anne Bachrach Leave a Comment

Multi-tasking is a way of life for many, while others try to avoid doing more than one thing at a time.  For some of us, it is something we must tolerate in order to maintain some sense order and accomplishment in our daily lives. 

 

You probably realize that your success is riding on your ability to maximize your time and performance to the highest optimal point possible.  You can only handle so much in any given 24-hour day and unless you’ve found a way to add more time to the clock, you have to do more in less or the same amount of time without running yourself into the ground. We all have 168 hours in the week and it’s all about how effectively we use the time we have.

 

The five principles outlined below are not difficult, but they do take discipline – and that’s what efficient multi-tasking comes down to.  Multi-tasking shouldn’t make you feel like you’re in the middle of a cyclone; there is actually a way to apply effective multi-tasking principles that will help you keep your sanity AND add time to your day.  Here are five secrets of effective multi-tasking:

1.      Give your full attention to the task in front of you

2.      Setting specific time frames for task completion

3.      Becoming effective at switching gears within like/similar activities

4.      Prioritizing high pay-off and low priority tasks

5.      Honor thy calendar

Testimonials

I’ve sometimes thought of myself as not coachable – fits & starts on progress – but when I looked at where I’ve come, I can tell it works. This year, I’ve experienced over 50% growth – and with that growth came some confidence… confidence to finally go after what I know I should have done – we’ve added a flat-fee-only option to our offerings, and that’s ALL I’ll be targeting for 2014 and beyond. With that under our belts, I can foresee another 50% growth year for each of the next 2 years!

Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome. That’s the good news!
