Why you should do one thing at a time. And How?

Why you should do one thing at a time. And How?

It is more beneficial to do one thing at a time. As humans, we are made in a way that multitasking would not be the most productive way of doing things. That is because we are programmed to focus on one thing at a time and multi-tasking is really just switching between tasks fast. Which turns out to be more detrimental than helpful.

So, how should we focus on one thing at a time?


  • Do the Most Important thing First thing in the Morning
Preferably without interruption, find the time, somewhere between an hour to 2 hours would be enough, with a clear start and stop time. Work in a private and quiet place with little disturbances. Resist any urges to tend to those disturbances, if it helps, write down the things which are disturbing you and come back to the list after you have finished what you set out to do from the start.
The more absorbed you can get, the more productive you will be. When you're done, be sure to take at least a 5-minute break to renew.


  • Establish a regular and scheduled time to think the more long-term, creatively or strategically
Also, try to find a different environment in which to do this activity - preferably one that's relaxed and conducive to open-ended thinking. For example, a quiet cafe or a coffee shop.


  • Be sure to take real and regular vacations
No, that does not mean you get to go on vacations every month. Maybe twice a year would be enough. Real means when you are off work, you are truly disconnected from work. Research strongly suggests that you would be far happier if you take vacations, and more productive overall.

So, when you are engaged with work, fully engage and focus on the task at hand. But when you are renewing, truly renew, relax and enjoy. Have Fun! Stop living your life in the grey zone.
