Being multitasking is not cool - how to organize your routine

Do you know all those times you read that there are incredible benefits of being multitasking? All these benefits are myths and can harm you in your professional routine.

That’s because your brain, when it realizes that you’re doing two or even more than two tasks at the same time, can lose focus quickly. And if one of the points is that you need to stay focused to organize your routine and gain more productivity. Therefore, we understand that multitasking is not cool.

After all, when you lose focus, your brain automatically decreases concentration, increasing the chances of mistakes. Consequently, you will have to do a rework. And it will take much longer to perform a single activity.

So focus and do one activity at a time. According to that list of priorities and tasks you have built.

Just be careful not to overload yourself, and take a few breaks during the day to drink water. Watching the social network on this break is allowed. When you work without breaks, your brain also loses focus.

2. Create a task list

The first step in organizing your routine is to create a to-do list. That is, making a list of tasks in order of priorities is an excellent strategy to remember the tasks that need to be performed.

To start and avoid getting overwhelmed, outline only three priority tasks that need to be done on the day. That is, those three urgent tasks that cannot be postponed.

Then list the less urgent tasks that can be done at another time. Also delimit a specific workload for your workday. Or analyze how much time you need to complete these priority tasks.

If you can solve everything in the morning, for example. And you still have the entire afternoon of work ahead of you, then start to sort out the activities on your list that are not so high priority, but are also important.

The idea is to create possible lists to be made. Long lists are not possible and cause even more anxiety. So, set real goals to get the job done.

Counting on technology in this process is highly effective. So, let’s introduce Todoist. Check out a little more about the app below.
