The longer your
task list, the more tempting it is to do two things at once. What happens
after that is predictable – dilution of focus, result of two tasks completed
with 60% quality, and frustration.
The way it
actually works is that the longer your task list, the more important it is to
be fully present in what you are doing now. Attempting to do two
things simultaneously is not the solution. Focusing on what you are
doing now is.
So, take the time
to really think about what you want to get done. Once you commit to it, there’s
no escaping being present. The more you have to get done and the more
packed your schedule is, the more important it becomes to be present.
“The essence of Zen is doing one thing at a time.”
