Success: One Task at a Time

Multitasking is a modern phenomenon—and checking off items from your to-do lists (simultaneously, no less) are like gold medals worn proudly for recognition. But is it really possible to complete multiple complex tasks at the same time and do them all well?

Leadership development expert and author Devora Zack says no. She proposes dedicating time to a singular endeavor—from writing a report to meeting with a client—fully focused in the moment and free of distraction. In her new book Singletasking, Zack explains that multitasking is really just task-switching. And while seemingly more efficient, moving from task to task can zap creativity and efficacy. Concentrating efforts, on the other hand, encourages productivity and quality.

To get started:

  • Commit to one task at a time—eliminating distractions and ignoring the draw to handle other pressing work.
  • Practice clustertasking. Planning chunks of time dedicated to grouped activities (such as email and returning calls) will alleviate the itching need to take care of everything immediately.
  • Divert competing thoughts. Write down unrelated concerns as they crop up, so you can focus on them later.
While dropping the juggling act might seem stressful in and of itself, the benefits of singletasking (especially for your most critical jobs) are tangible. Try it! (Manta.com)
