Multitasking could impair cognitive control. People
who multitask are
bad at concentrating, cannot
filter out unimportant details
from the flow of information. Are easily disturbed by un important things and
works slowly. Human brain cannot process
more than one string of information at
a time. It even lowers IQ.
Multi tasking cannot
be avoided but it can
be reduced or learned to deal
with it smartly, following are
few suggestions :-
Limit distractions
Use electronic
information devices only when necessarily
Allot
specific time slot for visiting inbox, attending phone calls etc.
Inform
people not to disturb when you are doing something important
Priority/urgent
tasks to be done first
“To Do” List
Prepare
a “to do list”
Prioritize
your task and allocate time. Time slots
should not overlap
Leave
some time gap between each task
Complete task
Complete
task once you take it up
Do not
deal with several tasks, doing a part of each in a phase
Mix properly
If multitasking unavoidable, pair tasks
in a way that one requires your mental
ability and the other doesn’t require much of it
Relax
Put some
time to relax and rejuvenate your mind
Try to
do more number of tasks that you enjoy doing
When you cannot avoid dealing with a monotonous job, do not
multitask at any cost, till you finish doing it.
