Avoid multitasking as hell. Very few people can really afford it without going mad in the long run. At first it's very demotivating because you feel like stalling but then you'll naturally learn what (and how) you can micro-improve in your daily life to make the whole pipeline of TODOs more productive. I might not look very productive in the eyes of multitaskers, but at least I'm happy and totally not burned out.
- arethuza 11y agoI'd say its best to try and find out what level of multitasking you can handle without becoming too stressed and/or unproductive - it does vary a lot from person to person. Once you understand your own capacity for multitasking then fight to stay in that zone (and before anyone calls something like that a "comfort zone" its more like an "efficiency zone").
- ivanche 11y agoWell if we are talking about true multitasking (working on more than one thing at the same time) then humans can't do that - we only have one CPU with one core, our brain. Some people can do scheduling and time-sharing well, that is they work on one thing for some time, then on second one for some time, then on third one, then they return to the first one etc. but that's not multitasking really.
- raverbashing 11y ago"we only have one CPU with one core," "but that's not multitasking really." Do you think single core computers don't do multitasking? They do it exactly this way.
- falcolas 11y agoComputers have a context switching time of a few nanoseconds. People have a context switching time measured in the tens of minutes. If you do it too much, half of your day is consumed just switching your mental context between the tasks.
