Single Tasking
/I read this Poppytalk post which led me to this article on How to Live a Single Tasking Life and I wanted to share it with you. Please read the article, it's short & sweet and the bullet points at the end are wonderful.
Have you tried doing only one thing at a time lately? I tried one-tab-at-a-time browsing recently upon the advice of my career coach. Let me tell you, it was really hard at first. I actually felt twitchy. Then slowly...I felt relieved. I only had to absorb one page of content at a time! But have I kept up with it after the one-day trial? NOPE.
It's #4 in that article that really intrigues me. What if (the collective) we poured ourselves into one thing at a time? I think it would have a huge ripple effect on the world. I'll tell you what -- for the rest of this week I am totally committed to browsing the web with only ONE tab at a time. It's such a great step and it's not even a baby step for me, it's more like a long jump. I am so scattered when I'm online and I know this will have a huge effect on my concentration, comprehension and productivity. Do you dare try it with me? :)
