Multitasking part three gives the steps to change.
Another hilarious video to show the pitfalls of multitasking today.
by Dave Crenshaw
May I offer the following “beginning steps” to help slow down the switchtasking in your life?
1. Take control over technology
Your cell phone ringer (even on vibrate) doesn’t need to be on all the time. You can turn off email notification on your computer as well. Become master over the nagging beeps and buzzes by creating some silence.
2. Schedule what you can schedule
Set regular times in the day and week to check your voicemail and email. Let others know that you will be using that schedule so they know when to expect a reply.
3. Focus on the person
When you switchtask when dealing with a computer, you simply lose efficiency. But if you switchtask on a human being, you additionally damage a relationship. Be present, listen carefully, and make sure everything has been taken care of before moving on.
I hope this article has enlightened you. A way to make your life less complicated is to have more time for yourself, family by working at home and having more freedom.

Multitasking is a myth and just doesn’t exist. Part one of this excellent article focuses on how to overcome multitasking in today’s fast-paced world.
Watch this very short video on multitasking.
The Three Steps to Overcoming Multitasking
I’d like to share a valuable principle with you. It’s something I’ve taught to many business owners and executives I’ve worked with. This principle may go against the grain of some of your beliefs about time and the best way to get things done. Because of that, I ask you to keep an open mind.
Multitasking is a myth. It just plain doesn’t exist.
Does that shock you? 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.
I should clarify a few definitions. When I speak of multitasking as most people understand it, I am not referring to doing something completely mindless and mundane in the background such as exercising while listening to this CD, eating dinner and watching a show, or having the copy machine operate in the background while you answer emails. For clarity’s sake, I call this “background tasking”.
When most people refer to multitasking they mean simultaneously performing two or more things that require mental effort and attention. Examples would include saying we’re spending time with family while were researching stocks online, attempting to listen to a CD and answering email at the same time, or pretending to listen to an employee while we are crunching the numbers. What most people refer to as multitasking, I refer to as “switchtasking.” Why?
Because the truth is we really cannot do two things at the same time—we are only one person with only one brain. Neurologically speaking, it has been proven to be impossible. What we are really doing is switching back and forth between two tasks rapidly, typing here, paying attention there, checking our “crackberry” here, answering voicemail there back and forth back and forth at a high rate. Keep this up over a long period of time, and you have deeply engrained habits that cause stress and anxiety and dropped responsibilities and a myriad of productivity & focus problems. It’s little wonder so many people complain of increasingly short attention spans!
When we speak of multitasking, what we really mean is that we are switchtasking: switching rapidly between one task and another. Yet, each time we switch, no matter how quickly that switch takes place in our mind, there is a cost associated with it. It’s an economic term called switching cost—and the switching cost is high.

Stimulus package for this family of squirrels is no problem.
This family of squirrels worked hard saving nuts and treats. My gosh, now it’s time to pose for a family portrait. These squirrels look relaxed and confident because they took advantage of the benefits of spending their time wisely preparing for Winter and possible hardships. They also look in great shape. Perhaps we could be more like these cute creatures and mirror their ways.
We humans can benefit by taking note of nature and duplicate their inborn habits of instinct and survival. If each of us needs foresight to take care of our own needs. Our nation may not have needed a stimulus package. We could have relied upon our own resources rather than the government. When we are resourceful, we feel better about ourselves and are more productive.
This squirrel makes life look easy. We can do this by living in the moment. We can do this by knowing.
At least the squirrel knows what’s at the end of his quest. All we need to do is feel, trust and visualize our abundance of good coming from the universe and God.
Have a stimulating day and in the meantime, create a wonderful day for yourself.
