Multitasking Vs Time Management on Priority Basis

As we have heard one of the most obvious and important benefits of multitasking is it enables you to save time. Rather than doing one thing after the other, you combine tasks so you can more quickly get everything done. Multitasking allows people to free up more time for the things they enjoy, such as their families or hobbies. 

Isn't this what we all beleive??

What do you think on above statement? What's your opinion? Before reading the rest of the article just kill 2 minutes of your valuable time and put yourself into these shoes and think. 

Yes... its somewhat true right, thats the answer you got for yourself, isnt it? But do you know that multitasking can reduce your level of productivity, it can damage your brain, it can harm your peace in mind and also it can reduce the quality of your work in a way.

As I said, Multitasking is when one person handles more than one task at the same time.

Examples include " you are on a call and while you are speaking to the other party you chewing gum and typing an email while watching television and the kettle is on the hot plate and your kid is in the bath tub crying soo loud". 

Hope you imaginate the whole situation in your mind and felt the trouble and heard the loud noise. I am pretty sure all of you must have experience the said incident to a certain level at least once in life time.

We think that women are born to multitask. Because we beleive we're good at switching from one task to another. But having a great ability to lose focus isn't admirable. Studies have found that multitasking reduces your productivity by 40%. 

So yeah we, as women we know that this is a main worry we have in our nowadays lives. 

So, whats the solution for this? 

Rather multitasking to 100% you can practice a mind time table (if its hard jot down your to do list somewhere). As in like you give time slots for each and every task you have for the day. Plan your day and sketch the same in your mind and allocate time slots on priority basis. True, that you might get ad-hoc tasks to do while you are completing your actual work for that particular time slot. So then there you can multitask to a certain level by doing your actual work for that particular time slot with the ad-hoc work which pops in and once you complete both switch to the next pending work.

In the very early stage when you try to pratice this you may feel tired and not enough time for the day and what not . But practicing this for a certain time period would make you a specialist who manage time like a pro.
